Verse 1
=======
D(R1)                            D(R1)
Be careful what you dream of it may come up and surprise you
  D(R1)                            D(R1)
I can't confess my life's a mess I've come to idolise you
    G           G/B            G          A       G/B      A/C#
You liken it to walking on hot coals I'll keep my boots on
D                                   Em7             Asus A
Wisen up and fly straight there's a shape on the ho-ri  -zon


D(R1) x 4


Verse 2
=======
     D(R1)                          D(R1)
In a hollow horse I'll steal my way in-side your guarded heart
   D(R1)                      D(R1)
So selfishly the needs I harbour when we are apart
   G                  G/B            G           A   G/B  A/C#
My path strung out be-hind me contra-diction and dis-aster
D                          Em7           Asus A
I'm in search of charity a union I could mas -ter


Chorus 1
========
D              F#m /E      G                                 Bm
We'll be as we are    when all the fools who doubt us fade a-way
D                F#m /E    G                         A        D
Fortune deep and wide   in-timidated restless in the wait the wait


Verse 3
=======
D(R1)                     D(R1)
Things I chose to value I no longer have a use for
  D(R1)                    D(R1)
I ridicule myself for all the things those symbols stood for
     G          G/B              G     A        G/B      A/C#
When vanity has played a part in every leader's downfall
D                                   Em7              Asus  A
Wait to storm the gates what's left undone to hang a-round for
