[Intro]
G
[Verse]
To recall this timeD  
DFor you and I to come together
To AmrecogniseC  
Just how badly our hearts were broken
[Verse]
GAll the flowers fadeD  
Now the stars paleAm  
AmAs this bitter beauty
CGrabs you by the tail
[Verse]
How Glong will you hesitate?
DHalfway up the trail
Yes, it's Amdark in the trees
And Csome wounds never heal
[Chorus]
And you're Gdreaming
With eyes wide Dopen
Your heart has Amspoken
For the first Ctime
[Verse]
All the Ggun-for-hire poets
Who Dtry to sing so loud
Just to Amdrown out the roar
As the Cbombs hit the ground
[Verse]
And the Gband is whistling Dixie
For the Dsentimental sake
That's the Amsound and the fury
COf this new dark day
[Chorus]
And you're Gdreaming
With eyes wide Dopen
Your heart has Amspoken
For the first Ctime
For the first Gtime
[Instrumental]
G   D   Am   C   G
[Verse]
All the penny wishesD  
And trickle-down schemesAm  
AmAnd Cracker Jack box prizes
CSplitting at the seams
[Verse]
And you're Gstand in the doorway
With your Dhair all in a messAm  
AmYou in all your glory
CWondering what comes next
[Chorus]
And you're Gdreaming
With eyes wide Dopen
Your heart has Amspoken
For the first Ctime
[Chorus]
And you're Gdreaming
With eyes wide Dopen
Your heart has Amspoken
For the first Ctime
[Chorus]
And you're Gdreaming
With eyes wide Dopen
Your heart has Amspoken
For the first Ctime
For the first Gtime

[Intro]

[Verse]

To recall this time

For you and I to come together

Am C

To recognise

Just how badly our hearts were broken

[Verse]

G D

All the flowers fade

Now the stars pale

As this bitter beauty

Grabs you by the tail

[Verse]

How long will you hesitate?

Halfway up the trail

Yes, it's dark in the trees

And some wounds never heal

[Chorus]

And you're dreaming

With eyes wide open

Your heart has spoken

For the first time

[Verse]

All the gun-for-hire poets

Who try to sing so loud

Just to drown out the roar

As the bombs hit the ground

[Verse]

And the band is whistling Dixie

For the sentimental sake

That's the sound and the fury

Of this new dark day

[Chorus]

And you're dreaming

With eyes wide open

Your heart has spoken

For the first time

[Instrumental]

G D Am C G

[Verse]

All the penny wishes

And trickle-down schemes

And Cracker Jack box prizes

Splitting at the seams

[Verse]

And you're stand in the doorway

D Am

With your hair all in a mess

You in all your glory

Wondering what comes next

[Chorus]

And you're dreaming

With eyes wide open

Your heart has spoken

For the first time

[Chorus]

And you're dreaming

With eyes wide open

Your heart has spoken

For the first time

[Chorus]

And you're dreaming

With eyes wide open

Your heart has spoken

For the first time
