Intro FDmCAmFDmCAm G It was cruel of you to stand F At my door and take my hand CC/EF Like a drowning man I clung to my defenses
G And ten years is a time F but your looks, love, it's a crime CC/EF/AC/G And I lost myself in the tangle of your fences
FG And I never was to know CC/EF That I'd come to miss you so C/GDm/F But time winds down C/GFD And I turned my back long ago
AmC/G But I still dream DmFCF/CC Oh darling I still dream AmC/G I still dream DmFCF/CC Lord knows I still dream
On the killing floor I stand With a stun-gun in my hand Like a cowboy shooting bad men on the range And nothing satisfies And the soul inside me dies As I duck each punch and never risk the change
And now you look at me With that same old used-to-be But time winds down And I turned my back long ago
But I still dream Darling I still dream
And now you look at me With that same old used-to-be But time winds down And I turned my back long ago
But I still dream Oh darling I still dream I still dream Lord knows I still dream I still dream Darling I still dream
