G            Bm
Through the corridors of sleep
         C7M            G
Past the shadows dark and deep
   Bm              C7M       G       C G
My mind dances and leaps in confusion.
                     Bm
I don't know what is real,
        C7M        G
I can't touch what I feel
      Bm              C7M          G       C G
And I hide behind the shield of my illusion.

D            C           G             Em
So   I'll continue to continue   to pretend
   C6                Em
My life   will never end,
    A              C    C/D      G
And Flowers  Never Bend With The Rainfall.

    G            Bm
The mirror on my wall
         C7M          G
Casts an image dark and small
    Bm              C7M         G         C G
But I'm not sure at all it's my reflection.
                    Bm
I am blinded by the light
   C7M             G
Of God and truth and right
      Bm            C7M           G        C G
And I wander in the night without direction.

D            C           G             Em
So   I'll continue to continue   to pretend
   C6                Em
My life   will never end,
    A              C    C/D      G
And Flowers  Never Bend With The Rainfall.

        G                Bm
It's no matter if you're born
   C7M            G
To play the King or pawn
        Bm             C7M                G       C G
For the line is thinly drawn 'tween joy and sorrow,
            Bm
 So my fantasy
  C7M      G
Becomes reality,
           Bm             C7M         G       C G
And I must be what I must be and face tomorrow.

D            C           G             Em
So   I'll continue to continue   to pretend
   C6                Em
My life   will never end,
    A              C    C/D      G
And Flowers  Never Bend With The Rainfall.
