I lived alone without you

Shadows on my wall

Ghosts in my looking glass  
D 
Voices in the hall  
C                 D                              
At first I didn't understand  
      G        D      Em 
I had nothing left to sell  
G                           D

My life was cold as hell

There came a knocking on my door  
G            D            
The landlord dressed in black  
     Em                  C         
Said "pack your bags and move on out  
         D 
We don't ever want you back "  
C                 D 
And who was I to question  
    G     D      Em 
The logic of his schemes  
G                          D 
When they proved there can be hope  
Em                 C   
Wherever there are dreams 
D                  G 
Wherever there are dreams

G        D             G 
Mine are just a foolish heart 
         D 
Couldn't fake a smile 
Em               C             
Thought I'd find deliverance 
D                                  
Down another mile 
C              D      
And I remember being in love 
   G    D      Em                  
So long ago it seems 
G                       D                   
The love that drives me ever on 
       Em             C                                    
Is the love I find in dreams

Is the love I find in dreams
