I Still Dream, Richard Thompson
[Intro]
F Dm C Am F Dm C Am
It was Gcruel of you to stand
At my Fdoor and take my hand
Like a Cdrowning man I C/Eclung to my deFfenses
And Gten years is a time
but your Flooks, love, it's a crime
And I lCost my tongue in the tC/Eangle of my sF/AensesC/G  
FAnd I never was to Gknow
That I'd Ccome to C/Emiss you Fso
But C/Gtime winds Dm/Fdown
And I C/Gturned my Fback long Dago
But I still AmdreamC/G  
Oh Dmdarling FI still CdreamF/C  C  
I still AmdreamC/G  
DmLord knows FI still CdreamF/C  C  
On the killing floor I stand
With a stun-gun in my hand
Like a cowboy shooting bad men on the range
And nothing satisfies
And the soul inside me dies
As I duck each punch and never risk the change
And now you look at me
With that same old used-to-be
But time winds down
And I turned my back long ago
But I still dream
Darling I still dream
And now you look at me
With that same old used-to-be
But time winds down
And I turned my back long ago
But I still dream
Oh darling I still dream
I still dream
Lord knows I still dream
I still dream
Darling I still dream

Lord knows I still dream

On the killing floor I stand

With a stun-gun in my hand

Like a cowboy shooting bad men on the range

And nothing satisfies

And the soul inside me dies

As I duck each punch and never risk the change

And now you look at me

With that same old used-to-be

But time winds down

And I turned my back long ago

But I still dream

Darling I still dream

And now you look at me

With that same old used-to-be

But time winds down

And I turned my back long ago

But I still dream

Oh darling I still dream

I still dream

Lord knows I still dream

I still dream

Darling I still dream
