~INTRO~

D6 Bm7 G6add13 X[2]

~VERSE~

Bm     Bm7                 Em7
        This one's about a dream I had last night
Bm     Bm7                Em7
How an old man tracked me home and stepped inside
Bm         Bm7             Em7                     G
He put his foot inside the door and gave a crooked smile
                 D                     G
Something in his eyes something in his laugh
                 F#m
Something in his voice that made my skin crawl off
Bm           Bm7             Em7
He said I've seen you here before I know your name
Bm       Bm7                 Em7
         You could have your pick of pretty things
Bm        Bm7               Em7               G
          You could have it all everything at once
                  D                      G
Everything you've seen everything you'll need
                  F#m
everything you've ever had in fantasies

~INTERLUDE~

D6             Bm7             G6add13
You've one life you've one life you've one life left to lead
D6             Bm7             G6add13
You've one life you've one life you've one life left to lead

~VERSE 2~

Bm           Bm7             Em7
           I woke up from my dream as a golden man
Bm           Bm7             Em7                   Bm
      With a girl I've never seen with golden skin
  Bm7             Em7                        G
I jumped up to my feet she asked me what was wrong
           D                            G
I began to scream I don't think this is me
               F#m
Is this just a dream or really happening

~REPEAT INTERLUDE~

~CHORUS~

G5                    A5 
What direction what direction
                      B5
What direction what direction
 
I'm splitting up I'm splitting up
           D            G
This is my personal disaffection
                    A
What direction what direction what direction now

~VERSE 3~

Bm           Bm7                Em7
           I looked outside the glass at golden shores
Bm            Bm7              Em7
              Golden ships and masts with golden cords
Bm              Bm7          Em7                   G
             As my refection passed I hated what I saw
                    D                                    G
My golden eyes were dead and a thought passed through my head
                        F#m
A heart that is made of gold can't really beat at all

~BRIDGE~

G5 
I wanted to wake up again
   
I wanted to wake up again
Em7                G
Without a touch of gold
                   A
Without a touch of gold

~CHORUS 2~
G5 P.M
What direction what direction

What direction what direction

Death or action
                        G
Life begins at the intersection
                       A     
What direction what direction what direction now

~VERSE 4~

Bm            Bm7          Em7
            I woke up as before but the gold was gone
Bm        Bm7             Em7
       My wife was at the door with her night robe on
Bm    Bm7                Em7                       G
   My heart beat once or twice and life flooded my veins
               D                                G
Everything had changed my lungs had found their voice
                     F#m
And what was once routine was now the perfect joy

~OUTRO~
D6             Bm7             G6add13
You've one life you've one life one life left to lead
D6             Bm7             G6add13
You've one life you've one life one life left to lead
