ice cold stare and said I?ve been having those dreams again
Every verse is basically played the same, but sometimes Adam throws in a C chord for the
two beats of the 1st or 2nd line of each verse, instead of just the Em riff. He also
an extra bar of the Em riff after some of the verses. I have indicated this below.
G5 E5
In one dream there's this girl I love
G5 E5 C5
And we dance every wakin' breath
G5 E5
And in the other they've thrown me in a cell
C5 E5 X2
And they're tryin' me for her death
G5 E5
I'm only young and young in love
G5 E5 C5
As I hold that girl today
G5 E5
But I'm old and tired and in the cell
C5 E5 X2
And I've nigh on withered away
Bridge:
Play the intro again, but skip the first time through, so you only play it 4X, all with
?Ooh?s. Note that the first words of the next verse below (?Y?see my?) fall on the last
and a half of the bridge.
Verse:
G5 E5
Y'see my baby' gone away too long
G5 E5 C5
And I'm chokin' back the tears
G5 E5
Disheveled star in a burnt out bar
C5 E5
And I'm talkin' in my drink
G5 E5
She promised me the world and more
G5 E5 C5
How could she do this to me?
G5 E5
And now mine's tumblin' down around
C5 E5
But at least my eyes can see, And those
C5 C5 * E5 X2
stars in the sky are for me
*Note that for this one version of the verse, there is an extra line, which contains two
of the C chord.
G5 E5
So as this fagged-out tinsel town
G5 E5 C5
Waves so-long to the sun
G5 E5
I lay here calmly on my bed
C5 E5
And the trigger of my gun
G5 E5
And should that no good woman show up
G5 E5 C5
Dancin' from a dream
G5 E5
I'll squeeze it twice and not think twice
C5 E5
And relish every scream
Outro:
On the last line of the last verse, Adam sings ?scream? an octave higher, and moves
into the falsetto ?Ooh?s like in the Intro. ?Scream? replaces the first ?Ooh ooh?, so it
like this:
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
Scre- eam oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh
Ooh oo-ooh
Ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
ooh
Gradually slow down the last few bars until the end.
