[Intro]
C G C  C G C
[Verse 1]
With your Cstrange Gblack Cart my Fdefenses Cfall aGpart
You can feed upon my heart I can't resCist it
CCome the Gtwilight Ctime I Fmight Close my Gmind
It's pierced through by signs that change and Ctwist it
[Chorus]
And life is Gbut a Cdream and Fdreams are Conly Gdreams
Or so some Spanish poet Csaid
But when you Gcome Calong my Flife beCcomes a Gsong
oh a beautiful song inside my Chead
A Fbeautiful Gsong in my CheadC  G  C  C  G  C  
[Verse 2]
There's a Cdeep Gblack Chole where the FDevil's Cin conGtrol
He tries to win my soul and he is Cheartless
But Cthough it Gburns my Clip if I Fonly Ctake a Gsip
I know I will not slip into the Cdarkness
[Chorus]
And life is Gbut a Cdream and Fdreams are Conly Gdreams
Or so some Spanish poet Csaid
But when you Gcome Calong my Flife beCcomes a Gsong
oh a beautiful song inside my Chead
A Fbeautiful Gsong in my CheadC  G  C  C  G  C  
[Verse 3]
There's a Csleek Gblack Ccat in a Ftall Cblack Ghat
And he turns me to a rat so he can Cchase me
But I Cdo not Gneed to Chide there's an Fangel Cby my Gside
She spreads her wings out wide and he can't Cface me
[Chorus]
And life is Gbut a Cdream and Fdreams are Conly Gdreams
Or so some Spanish poet Csaid
But when you Gcome Calong my Flife beCcomes a Gsong

A Fbeautiful Gsong in my CheadC  G  C  C  G  C  
[Verse 4]
In the Cdeep Gblack Cnight with Fno CstarGlight
Owls take to flight in slow Cmotion
But the CScorGpio Cmoon will Frise aCbove the Gdunes
And shine on Jim McEwan making Cpotions
[Chorus]
And life is Gbut a Cdream and Fdreams are Conly Gdreams
Or so some Spanish poet Csaid
But when you Gcome Calong my Flife beCcomes a Gsong
oh a beautiful song inside my Chead
A Fbeautiful Gsong in my Chead :3x

Come the twilight time I might lose my mind

It's pierced through by signs that change and twist it

But when you come along my life becomes a song

oh a beautiful song inside my head

A beautiful song in my head

But though it burns my lip if I only take a sip

I know I will not slip into the darkness
