[Verse]
AmWe both had doubts
We Emboth had doubts
AmI found myself
While I Emwas away
AmAll your life
Now I Emunderstand
AmSo many hours
And no Emcompany
[Chorus]
But Fmaj7/Ayou imagine Em7things
Through cold eyes Fmaj7/Aasleep
Then what have I Em7seen this for
We Em7both know about...
[Verse]
AmAll my life
EmYou were important
And your Amfather too
EmWandering the orchard
Through budding Amdormant eyes
On a Emlamp lit plain
[Chorus]
Fmaj7/AYou imagine Em7things
Why does he speak to Fmaj7/Ame
To you, I know, I only Em7stare without
My Fmaj7/Alife is dull
And my Em7body aches
Then what have I Em7seen this for
[Chorus/Outro]
Oh, Fmaj7/AI imagined Em7things
Through cold eyes Fmaj7/Aasleep
And I Em7won't think back more than I Fmaj7/Ado
My Fmaj7/Alife is dull
And my Em7body aches
All this Fmaj7/Ablood in my mouth
Makes me Em7hate
How we Em7both end up

Through cold eyes asleep

Wandering the orchard

Through budding dormant eyes

On a lamp lit plain
