G5 D5 E5
C5 D5 E5


G5              D5                  E5
Last night I dreamt one thousand lives
                  C5                D5            E5
I could see the dawn through a different set of eyes
G5              D5             E5
There in my slumber passing time
               C5       D5             E5
Long live the world resting on its side

               C5           G5
I walked the orchard with you
       D5        E5
Your hand in my mine
C5             G5            B5
In the evergreens drinking wine
           E5           D5                        C5      G5
I saw the snow fall in black and white from the auburn sky
       B5                                  E5
Last night I lived more than one thousand lives
      D5            G5
Not one of them survived

Up through the earth and dawn I came
I crossed the kingdom through venom pouring rain
In the vacuum of my own brigade
Resurrected to make you mine again

Orpheus looked back once, she sailed the underworld
No second chances will be earned
I have returned as a phantom now to walk the bow and stern
       B5                                  E5
Last night I lived more than one thousand lives
      D5            C5
Not one of them survived

E5                       B5
If we could do better I know that we would
C5                          G5         D5
Maybe admit it now, we're not that good
E5                          B5
We keep the needle between zero and one
C5                            G5          D5        C5
You play your fiddle, baby, I'll play dumb

Into the pastures of our minds
Goes my nearly beloved and I
Blazing two parallel white lines
Through this broken heart spilled open wide

Time might be on my side
But it's mostly far behind
I was the apple of your eye
Now I'm the boy spinning on a wheel there stuck with knives
Last night I lived more than one thousand lives
Not one of them survived
