[Intro]
G A G A x6
[Verse 1]
G A G A
Stay here, stay in the moment
G A G A
Where the blooming of spring never ends
G A G A
Let's go down by the willow tree
G A G A
Roll with the hills till we make our ascent
G A G A
All I imagined is all that I see
G A G A
Gardens of flowers and warm summer breeze
G A G A
There's a place where no trouble is seen
G/B A/C# F/C G/B
Everything's perfect but it's all just a dream
A# F/A C# G#m D#m
That I have when I sleep through winter that never ends
C#m E C#m E
[Verse 2]
C#m E C#m E
O- pen, open your eyes to
C#m E C#m E
A world of all that can sadden your heart
C#m E C#m E
Co- lor absent from all I see
C#m E C G
Skies are gray and the streetlights are dark
C G C G
Lost in a sea of sad faces and hearts who claim
A# F G# D#
Eye for eye, tooth for tooth with words far beyond reproof
F# C# C#m E C#m E
Still I remain unconvinced
C#m E C#m E
[Chorus]
F#m G#m A B
All these years, hoped and we've dreamed
F#m G#m A B
For a final escape but to no avail
F#m G#m A B F#m G#m
All I hear the infinite buzzing of vanity's lips
A B
Forming words for the eager in ear
C#m E C#m E x2
[Verse 3]
C#m E C#m E C#m
There's a man reciting the words of his God
E C#m E
In a room full of pliable hearts
C#m E C#m E
And each word, teaming with fire
C#m E C G
Consumes any reason that's lingering near
C G C G
Every word will precede a great cheer
A# F G# D#
To affirm that the problem could never lie here
F# C# C#m E C#m E
And on goes the shifting of blame
C#m E C#m E
[Chorus]
F#m G#m A B
All these years, hoped and we've dreamed
F#m G#m A B
For a final escape but to no avail
F#m G#m A B F#m G#m
All I hear the infinite buzzing of vanity's lips
A B Em Bm D Am
Forming words for the eager in ear
Em Bm D Am
[Bridge]
Em Bm
What I wouldn't give to go back to that place
D Am Em
Just to feel the warmth of the sun shining down on my face
Bm
The smell of young roses in bloom
D Am
I'd gladly spend the rest of my days in that afternoon
Em Bm D Am x2
[Chorus]
Em F#m G A Em
I can't bear to look at another sad face
F#m G A
In this town riddled with fear
Em F#m G A
Close your eyes, we'll make our escape
Em F#m G A
Shake the dust off your feet, dry the last of your bitter tears
[Outro]
