-Verse 1-
(Cm G# Cm A#)
Cm              G#       Cm A#
Too late, the melody is over. The joke seems to 
Cm                G#                Cm          A#
Be on me, 'cause I?m the one not laughing down here on the floor
Cm G# Cm A#
Deflate the mystery of living in the most 
Cm               G#               Cm                   A#
heartless fashion I could ever imagine. No pretending on

decor


-Chorus-
(Fm G# D# A#)
                   Fm                     G# 
Another place and time, without a great divide
                  D#           A#
And we could be flying deadly high
      Fm              G#              D#       A#
I?ll sell my soul to dream you wide awake
                   Fm                     G# 
Another place and time, without a warning sign
                  D#           A#
And we could be dying angels high
      Fm              G#              D#       A#
I?ll sell my soul to dream you wide awake
(Fm G# D# C#)
Fm            G#              D#                C#
I?ll dream you, I?ll dream you, I?ll dream you wide awake


-Instrumental after chorus 1-
(Cm G# Cm A#)


-Verse 2 (same chords as verse 1)-
With me disaster finds a playfield
Love seems to draw dark twisted pleasure tearing at me
Cause I can't let you go
Mercy, like water in the desert
Shines through my memory like jewelry in the sun
Where are you now?


-Chorus-


-Middle eight-
(C D# A# F
G# D# A# F)
C               D#              A#    
It?s like I?m raising to the sun
            F               G# 
The lying face, the blazing gun
            D#              A#                F
Cause I?m afraid I will be left here without you
C          D#             A# 
Like I?m raising up the moon
F                             G#
You give me more when I have none
            D#               A#            F
Cause I?m afraid I will be left here without you
(Cm G# D# G# A#)
 Cm      G#       D#    G#         A#
Wide awake, wide awake?


-Chorus-
