^{Bb}I remember ^{Bbmaj7}all my ^{Bb}life \\ ^{Bb}Raining down as ^{Bbmaj7}cold as ^{Bb}ice \\

Oh, ^{Bb}Mandy \\
Well you ^{Gm}came and you ^{D#}gave without ^{F}taking \\

I'm ^{Bb}standing on the ^{Bbmaj7}edge of ^{Bb}time \\

^{F#}Saying I ^{Badd9}love you is \\
^{G#m7}not the words I ^{B}want to ^{C#}hear from ^{F#}you \\
^{F#}It's not that I ^{Badd9}want you \\
^{G#m7}not to say but ^{B}if you ^{C#}only ^{D#m}knew \\
Ho-^{A#m7}ow ea-^{G#m7}sy \\
^{C#}It would be to ^{F#}show me ^{C#/F}how you ^{D#m}feel

^{B}More than words to ^{F#/A#}show you ^{G#m7}feel that your ^{C#7}love for me is ^{F#}real \\
^{F#}What would you ^{C#/F}say if I ^{D#m7}took those ^{A#m7}words ^{B}away? \\
^{B}Then you couldn't make ^{F#/A#}things ^{G#m7}new \\
Just by s^{C#7}aying I love ^{F#}you

\end{intro}
\begin{verse}
^{F#}We both lie silently still, in the dead of the ^{Badd9}night \\
Although we ^{F#}both lie close together, we feel ^{Badd9}miles apart inside \\
Was it ^{F#}something I said, or ^{Badd9}something I did, \\
did my ^{F#}words not come out ^{Badd9}right? \\
Though I ^{C#}tried not to hurt you, though I ^{B}tried, but I guess that's why they say
\end{verse}
\begin{chorus}
^{F#}Every rose has its ^{Badd9}thorn \\
Just like ^{F#}every night has its ^{Badd9}dawn \\
Just like ^{F#}every cow^{C#}boy sings a ^{B}sad, sad ^{F#}song \\
^{F#}Every rose has its ^{B}thorn

\begin{verse}
I ^{F#}listen to our favorite song, playing on the ^{Badd9}radio \\
Hear the ^{F#}DJ say love's a game of easy come and ^{Badd9} easy go \\
But I ^{F#}wonder, does he ^{Badd9}know, has he ^{F#}ever felt like ^{Badd9}this? \\
And I ^{C#}know that you'd be here right now if I ^{B} coulda let you know, somehow I guess
\end{verse}

\instruction{Repeat Chorus}
\end{chorus}
\begin{bridge}
^{D#m} Though it's been a ^{C#}while now, I can ^{B}still feel so much ^{F#}pain \\
^{D#m} Like a knife that ^{C#}cuts you the wound heals,^{B} but the scar, that scar remains

\begin{verse}
I ^{F#}know I coulda saved our love that night if I'd ^{Badd9} known what to say \\
^{F#} Instead of making love we both ^{Badd9} made our separate ways \\
And ^{F#}now I hear you've found ^{Badd9}somebody new, and ^{F#}that I never meant that ^{Badd9}much to you \\
To ^{C#}hear that tears me up inside, and to ^{B} see you cuts me like a knife, I guess

^{G}Hush now, don't you cry,
Wipe away the ^{Em}teardrop from your eye \\
^{G}You're lying safe in bed,
It was all a bad dream
^{Em}spinning in your head \\
^{C}Your mind tricked you to feel the pain, \\ of someone close to ^{Am}you leaving the game of life \\
^{C}So here it is, another chance,
wide awake you ^{Am}face the day \\
Your dream is over... or has it just begun?
\end{verse}
[Instrumental]
G - Em
\begin{verse}
^{G}There's a place I like to hide \\
A doorway that I ^{Em}run through in the night \\
^{G}Relax child, you were there \\
But only didn't ^{Em}realize and you were scared \\
^{C}It's a place where you will learn \\
To face your fears, ^{Am}retrace the years \\
And ride the whims of your mind \\
^{C}Commanding in another world \\
Suddenly you ^{Am}hear and see \\
This magic new dimension
\end{verse}
\begin{chorus}
^{D}I... will be watching over ^{C}you \\
^{D}I... am gonna help you see it ^{C}through \\
^{D}I.. will protect you in the ^{C}night \\
I... am smiling next to you, in Silent Lucidity ^{G}

(You can achieve dream control)
(Dream control)
(How are we feeling today, better??)
(Dream control, dream control)
(Help me)
\begin{verse}
^{G}If you open your mind for me \\
You won't rely on ^{Em}open eyes to see \\
^{G}The walls you built within \\
Come tumbling down, and a ^{Em}new world will begin \\
^{C}Living twice at once you learn \\
You're safe from pain ^{Am}in the dream domain \\
A soul set free to fly \\
^{C}A round trip journey in your head \\
Master of ^{Am}illusion, can you realize \\
Your dream's alive, you can be the guide but...

\begin{verse}
A E F#m
I can't fight this feeling any longer
D A E
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow
A E F#
What started out as friendship, has grown stronger
Bm7 D E
I only wish I had the strength to let it show
A E F#m
I tell myself that I can't hold out forever
D A E
I say there is no reason for my fear
A E F#
Cause I feel so secure when were together
Bm7 A
You give my life direction
D E
You make everything so clear
\end{verse}
\begin{bridge}
D
And even as I wander
C#m
I'm keeping you in sight
D
You're a candle in the window
A E
On a cold, dark winters night
D F#m E
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might
\end{bridge}
\begin{bridge}
D A Bm7 D
And I can't fight this feeling anymore
A Bm7 D
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
A Bm7 D
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
D E
And throw away the oars, forever
D A Bm7 D
Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
A Bm7 D
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
A Bm7
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
C#m D
Come crashing through your door
D E A
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore
\end{bridge}
[Solo]
\begin{verse}
A E F#m
My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
D A E
I've been running round in circles in my mind
A E F#
And it always seems that I'm following you, girl
Bm7 A/C# D E
Cause you take me to the places that alone I'd never find
