C5  A5    C5 A5    C5  A5    C5  A5

C5           A5              C5                         
The morning sun  opens up my eyes
                   A5                             C5
(What I see is the same world I know you're seeing)
C5             A5            C5 
My dreams are real until I realise 
               A5                               C5
(Realising's a slow phase from thought to being )
C5            A5                   C5
The waking world is full of cynic's sighs 
             A5                     C5
(Cynicisms a box I don't wanna be in)
C5            A5             E5    G5
I'll stay in bed until I stabilise 

  D5                G5    G5  D5               G5     G5
I try to write this song    To move my life along
  D5                G5   G5    D5               G5
I know what i dream of    I'll save my life for love 

C5  A5    C5  A5

C5       A5                  C5
Hidden meanings don't need to hide 
                       A5                                 C5
(When I hide from the world, you're the one who'll find me) 
C5          A5                       C5
A dormant scream from the world outside
                    A5                         C5
(If the truth's overdue I know you'll remind me)
C5              A5                     C5 
If the truth police are sniffing out a lie
                       A5                       C5
(I've done nothing in life I can't put behind me) 
C5            A5        E5    G5
I'll use my life as an alibi 

D5                              D5
Meaning is something I got from you 
G5                            G5
Whenever I lost the plot you knew
F5                                     C5
What is it I haven't got when I've got you 

(repeat)

D5  G5 G5   D5  G5 G5    D5  G5 G5   D5  G5 G5

C5  A5  C5  A5  C5  A5  C5  A5

A5

D5             D5      G5       G5
All my life   I've felt so uptight
        F5            C5
Now its all alright  

(repeat to fade)
