BRIDGE:
D D/F# Gm Gm/Bb
But the tigers come at night
D D/F# G G/B
with their voices soft as thunder
C C/E Fm Fm/Ab
as they tear your hope apart

He slept a summer by my side,

he filled my days with endless wonder.

And still I dreamed he'd come to me,

that we would live the years together
G G/F# Em G/D
but there are dreams that cannot be

and there are storms we cannot weather.
ENDING:

I had a dream my life would be
Am7 C11 D G
so different from this hell I'm living,
G/F# Em7 G/D
so different now from what it seemed
C D7 G G/F# Em7 G/B C D7 G
now life has killed the dream I dreamed.
