1.  DOne more iAllusion shattered  BmOne more broken Gdream
           G                    DAsusp     A  
Oh that the morning brings the sun
DGone are the Adays when I could Bmbounce right back aGgain   
GSee how the Dtears roll down   Like Gsweet summer Drain
             G                 D  F#m(barred)          G             G6  
Where does it leave me now  I find myself so free again
(Guitar solo -  D   A    Bm  G)
2. DEven the Asmallest traces  BmOf your sweet Gperfume
        G                     DAsusp      A  
Open the flood gates and I’m helpless
DNow as the Amoonlight shadows   BmCast across my Groom
GOnly the wDhispered words   Are Gheard in the Dnight
      G                  D  F#m(barred)                           G  
Only a silent prayer  I love you still    I always will

Refrain: Out of the dark I stumbled       Into the light                   
AOnly my fGear has tDumbled,    GI think I always knew   That AI would run to you
3. ESomewhere there’s cBhildren playing   C#mSomewhere far awAay
            A              EBsusp B  
Running with open arms to greet me  
EOver the hBill the sunset  C#mdies and fades awAay  
AI turn and I Eclose the door  With Aone last goEodbye    
        A                       E  G#m(barred)                    A    A  A
