And I look at me today and the dreams have gone away,  and I’m where I never thought I ‘d be. 
Seeing things I never thought I would see happening to me.

Hearing voices calling out my name. 
Droning over and again the same message to me.

Am Dm

In another younger day I could dream the time away in the universe inside my room.

E7 Am

And the world was really mine from June until September.

And if it wasn't really so, well I was lucky not to know,

And I was lucky not to wonder why,

E7 Am

Cause a starry night is all that I remember.

Chorus 1

Am F

Summerfly was buzzing every night when I was young,

E7 Am

In the gentle world my child like senses knew.

Am F

When the world was just my cousin and the wind was just the tongue,

E7 Am

In the voice my lonely moments listened to.

Verse 2

And I look at me today and the dreams have gone away, and I’m where I never thought I ‘d be.

Seeing things I never thought I would see happening to me.

And I lay awake at night while the darkness turns to light,

Hearing voices calling out my name.

Droning over and again the same message to me.

Chorus 2

Crying who's your partner, who's your darling, who's your baby now.

Who wakes up at night to pull you in.

Well, it don't matter you'll just make her lonely anyhow,

I don't know why you even try to win.

Bridge

F G Am

Oh this’ll never fly, get out while you can

Dm C G

Look into the mirror say it’s not the same again

F G Am

Every single time, Makes us fall apart

Dm C G E7

Slamming door, slipping pride, sad and angry heart

Repeat Chorus 2
