[Verse]

D D/C# Bm Bm/A

I dreamed a dream in time gone by

G G/F#

When hope was high

Em7 A

And life worth living

D D/C# Bm7 Bm/A

I dreamed that love would never die

G G/F# Em7 A

I dreamed that God would be forgiving

D D/C# Bm Bm/A

Then I was young and unafraid

G G/F# Em7 A

And dreams were made and used and wasted

D D/C# Bm7 Bm/A

There was no ransom to be paid

G G/F# Em7 A

No song unsung, no wine untasted

[Chorus]

B Em

But the tigers come at night

B B7 E

With their voices soft as thunder

A Dm

As they tear your hope apart

A D Em/D F#m/D G/D A

And they turn your dream to shame

[Verse]

D D/C# Bm Bm/A

He slept a summer by my side

G G/F# Em7 A

He filled my days with endless wonder

D D/C# Bm7 Bm/A

He took my childhood in his stride

G Asus A D A/C# Am/C B

But he was gone when autumn came

E E/D# C#m7 C#m/B

And still I dream he'll come to me

A A/G# F#m7 B

That we will live the years together

E E/D# C#m7 C#m/B

But there are dreams that cannot be

A A/G# F#m7 B E E/D#

And there are storms we cannot weather

[Bridge]

C#m7 C#m/B A A/G#

I had a dream my life would be

F#m7 B E

So different from this hell I'm living

E/D# C#m7 C#m/B

So different now from what it seemed

A B E

Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.

[Instrumental]
