[INTRO]
 E   E6   E    E6х2
[VERSE 1]
As I Elook out at the E6window,
The Efirst thing that I E6see
Is a Eshadow-like reE6flection
BLooking back at me.
Bsus2Cause all the lights are turned on
And the night is dark outside,
B6sus2The window's like a mirror
For the Athings I keep inEsidE6e.E  E6  
[VERSE 2]
I feel Escared of how I E6blend in
With the Esilence of the E6night;
The Ecurtains start to E6move
As I pBull them from the right,
Bsus2And closing off the image
Of the ghost that looks like me
I wB6sus2onder if the man I am
Is aAll I'll ever EbeE6  E  E6  
[CHORUS 1]
Cause I Eused E6to Emaj7/G#dream
That I'd E6take over the Eworld one daE6y,Emaj7/G#  E6  
AMe and my guitar
In a cF#mhauffeur-driven car
All the EwayE6... E  E6  
Yet I Eused E6to dEmaj7/G#ream
That I'd tE6ake over the wEorld one dE6ay,Emaj7/G#  E6  
But I Aguess for most of us
It's just a F#mchauffeur-driven bus,
What can I EsayE6?E  E6  
[VERSE 3]
And Esunny days are pE6lenty,
I feel Elucky to be E6here.
The Egirl that sleeps beE6side me
Gets more pBretty every year.
Bsus2But every now and then
A cloudy day comes by,
B6sus2Something I remember
But I cAan't remember wEhy.E6  E  E6  
[CHORUS 2]
Cause I Eused E6to dEmaj7/G#ream
That I'd E6take over the Eworld one E6day,Emaj7/G#  E6  
AMe and my guitar
They’d be hF#manding out cigars
All the EwayE6...E  E6  
Yet I Eused E6to dEmaj7/G#ream
That I'd tE6ake over the wEorld one dE6ay,Emaj7/G#  E6  
But I Aguess when I will come,
It's just an F#mevening down the pub,
What can I EsayE6?E  E6  
[VERSE 4]
And there's Eone more thing that sE6trikes me
As I Eput away this E6song -
That's Ejust no way to E6tell
If you chose Bright or you chose wrong.
So Bsus2look at your reflection
In the window if you can,
B6sus2And try to see the world outside,
You'll Abe the bigger EmanE6.E  E6  
[CHORUS 1]
Cause EI used E6to dEmaj7/G#ream
That I'd E6take over the wEorld one dE6ay,Emaj7/G#  E6  
AMe and my guitar
In a cF#mhauffeur-driven car
All the EwayE6...E  E6  
Yet I Eused E6to drEmaj7/G#eam
That I'd E6take over the wEorld one dE6ay,Emaj7/G#  E6  
But I Aguess for most of us
It's just a F#mchauffeur-driven bus,
What can I EsayE6?E  E6

[INTRO]

E E6 E E6

х2

[VERSE 1]

E E6

As I look out at the window,

E E6

The first thing that I see

E E6

Is a shadow-like reflection

Looking back at me.

Bsus2

Cause all the lights are turned on

And the night is dark outside,

B6sus2

The window's like a mirror

A E E6 E E6

For the things I keep inside.

[VERSE 2]

E E6

I feel scared of how I blend in

E E6

With the silence of the night;

E E6

The curtains start to move

As I pull them from the right,

Bsus2

And closing off the image

Of the ghost that looks like me

B6sus2

I wonder if the man I am

A E E6 E E6

Is all I'll ever be

[CHORUS 1]

E E6 Emaj7/G#

Cause I used to dream

E6 E E6 Emaj7/G# E6

That I'd take over the world one day,

Me and my guitar

F#m

In a chauffeur-driven car

E E6 E E6

All the way...

E E6 Emaj7/G#

Yet I used to dream

E6 E E6 Emaj7/G# E6

That I'd take over the world one day,

But I guess for most of us

F#m

It's just a chauffeur-driven bus,

E E6 E E6

What can I say?

[VERSE 3]

E E6

And sunny days are plenty,

E E6

I feel lucky to be here.

E E6

The girl that sleeps beside me

Gets more pretty every year.

Bsus2

But every now and then

A cloudy day comes by,

B6sus2

Something I remember

A E E6 E E6

But I can't remember why.

[CHORUS 2]

E E6 Emaj7/G#

Cause I used to dream

E6 E E6 Emaj7/G# E6

That I'd take over the world one day,

Me and my guitar

F#m

They’d be handing out cigars

E E6 E E6

All the way...

E E6 Emaj7/G#

Yet I used to dream

E6 E E6 Emaj7/G# E6

That I'd take over the world one day,

But I guess when I will come,

F#m

It's just an evening down the pub,

E E6 E E6

What can I say?

[VERSE 4]

E E6

And there's one more thing that strikes me

E E6

As I put away this song -

E E6

That's just no way to tell

If you chose right or you chose wrong.

Bsus2

So look at your reflection

In the window if you can,

B6sus2

And try to see the world outside,

A E E6 E E6

You'll be the bigger man.

[CHORUS 1]

E E6 Emaj7/G#

Cause I used to dream

E6 E E6 Emaj7/G# E6

That I'd take over the world one day,

Me and my guitar

F#m

In a chauffeur-driven car

E E6 E E6

All the way...

E E6 Emaj7/G#

Yet I used to dream

E6 E E6 Emaj7/G# E6

That I'd take over the world one day,

But I guess for most of us

F#m

It's just a chauffeur-driven bus,

E E6 E E6

What can I say?
