[Intro]
C       C       Am      Am      Dm/F    C       Dm/F     G
C       C       Am      Am      Dm/F    C       Dm/F     G
[Verse 1]
Am                       Em
I saw you standing and I felt your rage
Am                      Em
Like a dark cloud on a crowded stage
F                                          G
You were talking through the smoke in your fantasy
Dm                      G
I know you girl, I know what to believe
Am                         Em
Maybe things ain't been so good at home
Am                                 Em
And the people that you love never cared at all
F                           G
You want to run away, don't care where you go
Dm                              G
You want to run away, run away, that's all you know
Dm                      F
Believe it's alright to fantasize
Dm                               F
And say the words you think will satisfy me
Dsus4           F
But you know better than that
Dsus4
'Cause you know what's a lie
[Chorus]
C                     Am          Dm/F
You're living in dreamtime, baby (you want to run away)
C                      Dm/F    G
It's time to wake up,             ooh
C                     Am          Dm/F
You're living on dreamtime, baby (you want to run away)
C                      Dm/F    G
It's time to shape up
[Verse 2]
Am              Em
In your dream, it's overcast
Am                      Em
Rain comes down, moving your way fast
F                           G
You want to run away, don't care where you go
Dm                              G
You want to run away, run away, that's all you know
Am                        Em
You turn a corner and you see a door
Am                         Em
Walk on through, throw yourself on the floor
F                                G
Oh, when you're looking up, it's no surprise
Dm                           G
Standing there is a man with movie star eyes
Dm                   F
You think he's gonna take care of you
Dm                                      F
The man with the plan that'll see you through
Dsus4           F
And I say there ain't no way
Dsus4
'Cause I know he's a lie
[Chorus]
C                 Am                  Dm/F
You're living in dreamtime, baby (you want to run away)
C                    Dm/F    G
It's time to wake up,            ooh
C                 Am                  Dm/F
You're living on dreamtime, baby (you want to run away)
C                    Dm/F     G
It's time to shape up, shape up
C                 Am                  Dm/F
You're living on dreamtime (you want to run away)
C     Dm/F        G
                    Whoa-whoa
C                 Am                  Dm/F
You're living on dreamtime, baby (you want to run away)
C                 Dm/F        G
Want to run away, want to run away
