Intro: C - F - C - F  

C  
I can open my mind 
                            F 
But there's no makings of a dreamer in you 
C 
In these desperate times 
I'm walking home 
        F 
Walking home to you 

G                    F 
I will fall with the rain 
G                       F 
I will flicker with the flame 
The fire 

C - F - C - F 

C 
I used to write down my dreams 
                         F 
Now they're gone when my eyes open on you 
C 
Well even though you've fucked up 
                               F 
There's still the makings of a dreamer in you 

G                    F 
I will fall with the rain

G                    F 
I will fall with the rain 
G                       F 
I will flicker with the flame 
The fire 
The fire
