[Verse 1]
So I Gsat with my head in my hands
And they sDtarted to ruGst

Had Dturned into mGush
GI got sick, I got tired, I felt crushed
And I sufDfered a lotG  
GBut I drew a big line in the dust
You jDust could not Gcross
[Pre-Chorus]
But if you Bmtalk about a drEeam enough it might come tDrue
[Chorus]
FDall into the vGoid, it's mBmesmeriEzing (whoa oh oh)
CDaptivated mGinds are sympaBmthiziEng (whoa whoa)
WDaiting on a sGun that's never rBmising E(whoa oh oh)

[Intro]

Bm E Bm E

[Verse 1]

So I sat with my head in my hands

D G

And they started to rust

And my legs, as I tried to stand

D G

Had turned into mush

I got sick, I got tired, I felt crushed

D G

And I suffered a lot

But I drew a big line in the dust

D G

You just could not cross

[Pre-Chorus]

Bm E D

But if you talk about a dream enough it might come true

[Chorus]

D G Bm E

Fall into the void, it's mesmerizing (whoa oh oh)

D G Bm E

Captivated minds are sympathizing (whoa whoa)

D G Bm E

Waiting on a sun that's never rising (whoa oh oh)

D G Bm E

Black, black sky is hypnotizing (whoa)

[Interlude]

Bm E D

[Verse 2]

Well I thought that I was a man

D G

Who would follow my own road

Though I turned my back to you

D G

So you'd follow your own

So long, my friend, goodbye

D G

See you later (later) I guess

Get gone, get lost, awhile

D G

I wish you (wish you) all the best

[Pre-Chorus]

Bm E D

But if you talk about a dream enough it might come true

[Chorus]

Fall into the void, it's mesmerizing (whoa oh oh)

I'm not getting bored, I'm just impatient

N.C

Watching your emotional immolation

Smile and take a bow to the ovation

Fade to black and change the station

[Chorus]

D G Bm E

Fall into the void, it's mesmerizing (whoa oh oh)

Captivated minds are sympathizing (whoa whoa)
