[Intro:]

Dm Am F

, , x4

[Verse 1:]

One night when I was asleep

I Had a dream I could fly

I Felt the cold on my skin then I open my eyes

So I jumped out of bed

Went down the fire escape

Now I'm laid out on the street I wasn't runnin away

From something I could control

It was inside of me

I didn't know where to go but I decided to leave

I still remember that night

I've never been the same

Still wonder if I could fly was it just a dream

[Chorus:]

Dm Am

I was Unhappy for so long

So many times I walked away

Dm Am

Think I was searching for something

Not knowing what I had to face

Dm Am

Untill I found out the reason

That's when I made my great escape

Dm Am F

But now It's to late say I'm sorry

Dm Am F

[Verse 2:]

One night when I couldn't sleep

I heard a knock at the door

She put her hand on me slow and then she opened my heart

I asked myself "is this real"?

I've never felt this way

She said "I need to escape" I Said I know a place

So she laid down on my bed

I said "Confide in me"

She looked deep into my eyes and she invited me

She must of lived in the sleep

She never said good bye

Could angels took her away I guess now she can fly

[Chorus]

Dm Am

I was Unhappy for so long

So many times I walked away

Dm Am

Think I was searching for something

Not knowing what I had to face

Dm Am

Untill I found out the reason

That's when I made my great escape

But now It's to late say I'm sorry

Dm Am F

But now It's to late say I'm sorry
