Capo 1

F  C
F  C
     What's Up

C
I dreamed I was drowning
Am 
 In the river Thames
G
 I dreamed I had nothing at all
F                       C
Nothing but my own skin

Am                     D
Slipped away from your open hands
Bb    F
 Into river 
Am                    D
Saw your face looking back at me
Bb                  F              C
 I saw my past, and I saw my future

Chorus:
                           F
You take the pieces of the dreams that you have
                                C
Cos you don't like the way they seem to be going
                                F
You cut them up and spread them out on the floor
                             C
You're full of hope as you begin rearranging
                  Bb
Put it all back together
                        F
But any way you look at this
      C
Looks like
               G
The lovers are losing

C
 I dreamed I was watching
Am
 The young lovers dance
G
 I reached out to touch your hair
          F                        C
But I was watching from a distance

Am                       D
 We cling to love like a skidding car
Bb          F
Clings to a corner
Am                    D
 I tried to hold onto what we are
Bb                      F             C
The more I squeeze, the quicker we're over

Chorus

G                              C  G
I dreamed I had nothing at all
I dreamed I had nothing at all

                           F
You take the pieces of the dreams that you have
                                C
Cos you don't like the way they seem to be going
                                F
You cut them up and spread them out on the floor
                             C
You're full of hope as you begin rearranging
                  Bb
Put it all back together
                       F
But in the final reckoning
      C
Looks like
               G
The lovers are losing
