C  A9    C A9    C  A9    C  A9

C           A9              C                         
The morning sun  opens up my eyes
                   A9                             C
(What I see is the same world I know you're seeing)
C             A9            C 
My dreams are real until I realise 
               A9                               C
(Realising's a slow phase from thought to being )
C            A9                   C
The waking world is full of cynic's sighs 
             A9                     C
(Cynicisms a box I don't wanna be in)
C            A9             Em    G
I'll stay in bed until I stabilise 

  Dm                G    G7  Dm               G     G7
I try to write this song    To move my life along
  Dm                G   G7    Dm               G
I know what i dream of    I'll save my life for love 

C  A9    C  A9

C       A9                  C
Hidden meanings don't need to hide 
                       A9                                 C
(When I hide from the world, you're the one who'll find me) 
C          A9                       C
A dormant scream from the world outside
                    A9                         C
(If the truth's overdue I know you'll remind me)
C              A9                     C 
If the truth police are sniffing out a lie
                       A9                       C
(I've done nothing in life I can't put behind me) 
C            A9        Em    G
I'll use my life as an alibi 

Dm                              Dm7
Meaning is something I got from you 
G                            G7
Whenever I lost the plot you knew
F                                     C
What is it I haven't got when I've got you 

(repeat)

Dm  G G7   Dm  G G7    Dm  G G7   Dm  G G7

C  A9  C  A9  C  A9  C  A9

A

Dm             Dm7      G       G7
All my life   I've felt so uptight
        F            C
Now its all alright  

(repeat to fade)
