CAPO 2ND FRET

A                   D
A glass, A view, A mirror

E       A
which one

A                   D       E       A
distracts like open windows in the gusts

E      D          A 
a calm day will come

E      D
A calm day will

A
This dream is
This dream is

D
This dream is
               E
in a telescope now
 
This dream is
This dream is

A
This dream is
This dream is

D
This dream is
               E
in a telescope now
This dream is
This dream is

A
Fever in bed

D
Time covers

E     A
go unknown

A                          D
This fright it grows and misses 

E         A
Sinks and floats

E      D        A 
A calm day will come

E       D
my calm day will
 
A
This dream is
This dream is

D
This dream is
               E
in a telescope now
This dream is
This dream is

A
This dream is
This dream is

D
This dream is
               E
in a telescope now
This dream is
This dream is
 
(one strum ) A
Fever in bed
Time covers
 
(one strum ) A
go unknown
 
(one strum ) A
Until two eyes out of the darkness 
 
(resume normal strumming) A
bring hope close

A D E D E A (X2)

A
This childish 

            D
heart won't wait
it dances 

         E
keeps me awake 
to think on to think on

A
you're the greatest light, 
             D 
the greatest shade
it means that

         E
I can be happy for you

D
Happy for you

A
Happy for you
Happy for you

E
Happy for you

D
Happy for you....
