Intro: D A C Em (2x) 

 D             A 
Put me on an aeroplane 
   C              Em 
A million miles away 
       D             A 
She's opened up her book of hate 
      C               Em 
And tore a brand new page 

    D                A               
Tonight I'll find a wishing well, 
   C              Em 
tomorrow's a new day 
   D                 A 
Tonight I'll find a wishing well, 
   C             Em 
before it's too late 

             D 
Show me the way 
             A 
Show me the way 
            C                   Em 
Why do my dreams keep slipping away? 
             D 
Show me the way 
             A  
Show me the way 
               C                Em 
Spent a whole lifetime running away 

      D              A 
She questioned my ability 
     C             Em  
To learn from my mistakes 
    D                 A 
I said she'd need a guillotine 
    C            Em 
To put me in my place 

    D                 A 
Tonight I?ll write my eulogy,  
   C           Em 
Before I fade away 
    D                 A 
Tonight I'll write my eulogy,  
         C    Em 
So don't be afraid 

             D 
Show me the way 
             A  
Show me the way 
            C                   Em 
Why do my dreams keep slipping away? 
             D 
Show me the way 
             A  
Show me the way 
               C                Em 
Spent a whole lifetime running away 

     D            A               
And every time I close my eyes, 
      C            Em 
I've lost another day 
             D 
Show me the way 
             A  
Show me the way 
            C          Em 
Why do my dreams keep slipping away? 

     Bb                   Dm 
The waves came crashing, down so fast 
               Bb                 Dm  
That when the storm was over, the sky turned black  
          Bb 
And now I pray for sunshine 
   Dm 
I pray for sunshine 
   Bb                      A 
I pray you'll help me to escape 

             D 
Show me the way 
             A  
Show me the way 
            C                   Em 
Why do my dreams keep slipping away? 
             D 
Show me the way 
             A 
Show me the way 
               C                Em 
Spent a whole lifetime running away 

     D             A 
And every time I close my eyes, 
      C           Em 
I've lost another day 
             D 
Show me the way 
             A  
Show me the way 
            C                   Em 
Why do my dreams keep slipping away? 

 D             A                     C           Em 
Every time we close our eyes, we've lost another day 
 D             A                    C                  Em 
Every time we close our eyes, our dreams will have to wait
