GYou were never onCe for waiting,
GStill I always thought you'd wait for Cme.
GAnd have you from your dreams awakeCn,
Gand from where you are what do you seCe?
transition:  Bb   A   G(x2)
GWhich of us is now in exile, Cwhich in need of amnesty?
GAre you now but an illusion, Cin my mind alone you breathG.
Pre-Chorus
CYou believed in Dthings that I would EmneD-veCr know.
CYou were out there Ddrowning and it Emne-vDer Cshowed
C'Till inside a Drain swept night you jEmust lDet Cgo.
Chorus
GYou've thrown it all awaCy, Gand now we'll never seeC.
Gthe ending to the plaCy.
The grand design, the final line,
and what was meant to bGe.
VERSE
GIn the dark a diCstant runner,
Gnow has disappeared into the nighCt.
Gleaving us to stCand and wonder
Gstaring from this end into your lCife.
Pre-Chorus
CYou believed in Dthings that I would EmneD-veCr know.
CYou were out there Ddrowning and it Emne-vDer Cshowed
C'Till inside a Drain swept night you jEmust lDet Cgo.
Chorus
GYou've thrown it all awaCy, Gand now we'll never seCe.
Gthe ending to the plaCy.
The grand design, the final line,
and what was meant to bGe.
GAnd if this is all illusion, nothing more than pure delusion, clinging
Gto a fading fantasy
GLike Icarus who heed the calling of a sun, but now is falling as the
Gfeathers of his life fall free.. cant you Gsee......
Yeah..
E   C   E   C
GTomorrow and D/F#after, Emyou tell me Cwhat am DI to Gdo.
GI stand here, D/F#believing, tEmhat in the dCark there iDs a cGlue.

CWhat am DI to dGo?
GGotta get back,  F#/Dgotta get back, Emgotta get back.
CWhat am DI to dGo?
GStanding on a D/F#dream, isn't what it sEmeems,
could we then Cproclaim a Ddream rGeduce?
GKnowing what we D/F#know, could we let it gEmo?
Realizing that Call our Ddreams are Gused.
GTomorrow and D/F#after, Emyou tell me Cwhat am DI to dGo.
GI stand here, D/F#believing, Emthat in the Cdark there Dis a Gclue.
GI am the way, D/F#I am the light, EmI am the Cdark insiDde the nGight.
GI hear your hopes, D/F#I feel your dreams, Emand in the darCk I heDar your Gscreams
