Intro:
Dm Am
The lines are broken between she and I
Bb C
But the road is as straight as an arrow
F Am
We had walked in a beautiful forest
Bb
But after a while the trees grew thin
C
And offered little shade
Dm Am Bb C
Now more than ever our lives move of their own volition
Verse: The F alternates with F/A and the Dm alternates with Dsus2
F
I sleep walk in the night
I don't wanna, I don't wanna
Dm
I let the day decide
I'm searching for, I'm searching for
F
I swim against the tide
I only wanna, I only wanna
Dm
Get to the other side
You can always find me
Bb C
Waitin for the right time
Bb C
But I can't wait till the end
Chorus:
Dm Am Bb C
You moved out of reach
F Am Bb C
Slipped out of my hands
Dm Am Bb C
I live in my dreams
Bb F
I have of you still holding me
