Intro:

Dm                   Am
The lines are broken between she and I

        Bb                                C
But the road is as straight as an arrow

F                                  Am
We had walked in a beautiful forest

                      Bb
But after a while the trees grew thin

                  C
And offered little shade

Dm                Am                                     Bb  C
Now more than ever our lives move of their own volition




Verse: The F alternates with F/A and the Dm alternates with Dsus2

F
I sleep walk in the night


I don't wanna, I don't wanna

Dm
I let the day decide


I'm searching for, I'm searching for

F
I swim against the tide


I only wanna,  I only wanna

Dm
Get to the other side


You can always find me

Bb               C
Waitin for the right time
              
   Bb                     C
But I can't wait till the end




Chorus:

Dm  Am          Bb     C
You moved out of reach

F         Am      Bb    C
Slipped out of my hands


Dm  Am          Bb     C
I live in my dreams

              Bb              F
I have of you still holding me
