INTRO:   G    D    Em    C     G  Em  
You hung your Ahopes on a Ccrooked nailD  
Dropped your dreams down a Crusty pailEm  
A little Abroken china Ccoffee cupD  
Could hold what's left of what you Cstill won't give up
CHORUS:
GWhere do all your Ddreams go Emto
When it Call starts to turn unDtrue
GWhat is all your Dwishing Emfor
When Cyou just don't beDlieve anyGmoreD  Em  C  G  Em  
You threw your Alove like a Cskipping stoneD  
Never had a chance, you Cshoulda knownEm  
Beg the Afates to Cgive it backD  
And you're sinking as the Csky goes black
CHORUS:
GWhere do all your Ddreams go Emto
When it Call starts to turn unDtrue
GWhat is all your Dpraying Emfor
When Cyou don't believe the Dwords anyEmmoreG  
BRIDGE:
An eyelash lay upon her Emface
You still keep it in a secret Gplace
Take it out and remember Emwhen
She was here, then put it back aCgain
Put it back aDgain
INSTRUMENTAL:   Em    A      C      D      C    Em    A      C      D      C  Em  
A million Astars in the Ccold black skyD  
Maybe one will fall for Cyou tonightEm  
A silver Amoon and Cdiamonds highD  
A worthless penny when she Csaid goodbye

GWhere do all your Ddreams go Emto
When it Call starts to turn unDtrue
GWhat is all your Dwishing Emfor
When you Cdon't believe in Ddreams anyGmoreD  Em  C
