A AMaj7
Last night I dreamed I had to tell

My parents about us
Bmin7 A
When I woke up I was crying

Mother shook me by the shoulders
E/A D/A
Said “you’re ruining your life!”
Bm F#m E
I’m sorry that your bright young boy is dying
[Verse 2]
A AMaj7
I know I dishonored
E/A D/A
The family name but
Bm7 A
All I ever had was my heart
A AMaj7
And I wake up a kid
E/A D/A
In a bed miles from home
Bm F#m E
But I’m too old to get a new start

[Verse 3]
A AMaj7
In a vision of death
E/A D/A
You breathe your last breath
Bm7 A
And all that I hold is cold embers
A AMaj7
And I sing in your ear
E/A D/A
But there’s nothing to hear
Bm F#m E
Just a nightowl in burial chambers
[Verse 4]
A AMaj7
You say that you love me
E/A D/A
And I write it all down
Bm7 A
So when you’re gone I’ll remember

But as I get old I find
E/A D/A
I can’t trust my own mind
Bm F#m E
And your words all break down into laughter

I wake up with tears
E/A D/A
Not yet dried on my face

No comfort in the cold light of morning
A AMaj7
Young men see visions

And old men dream dreams
Bm F#m E
And it all amounts to a warning
[Pre-Chorus]

I’ve heard I talk in my sleep
E Bm
But my voice is too weak
