G5            B5
Through the corridors of sleep
         C5            G5
Past the shadows dark and deep
   B5              C5       G5       C5 G5
My mind dances and leaps in confusion.
                     B5
I don't know what is real,
        C5        G5
I can't touch what I feel
      B5              C5          G5       C5 G5
And I hide behind the shield of my illusion.

D5            C5           G5             E5
So   I'll continue to continue   to pretend
   C5                E5
My life   will never end,
    A5              C5    C5      G5
And Flowers  Never Bend With The Rainfall.

    G5            B5
The mirror on my wall
         C5          G5
Casts an image dark and small
    B5              C5         G5         C5 G5
But I'm not sure at all it's my reflection.
                    B5
I am blinded by the light
   C5             G5
Of God and truth and right
      B5            C5           G5        C5 G5
And I wander in the night without direction.

D5            C5           G5             E5
So   I'll continue to continue   to pretend
   C5                E5
My life   will never end,
    A5              C5    C5      G5
And Flowers  Never Bend With The Rainfall.

        G5                B5
It's no matter if you're born
   C5            G5
To play the King or pawn
        B5             C5                G5       C5 G5
For the line is thinly drawn 'tween joy and sorrow,
            B5
 So my fantasy
  C5      G5
Becomes reality,
           B5             C5         G5       C5 G5
And I must be what I must be and face tomorrow.

D5            C5           G5             E5
So   I'll continue to continue   to pretend
   C5                E5
My life   will never end,
    A5              C5    C5      G5
And Flowers  Never Bend With The Rainfall.
