Em 
You were at my door 

I heard you knocking but I didn't care at all 
                              D 
I had been in all night just staring at the wall 
                        Em 
I didn't really want to see you any more 

Coming from the road 

You took your coat off and you threw it on the floor 
                              D 
You said 'I can't believe you wanna hurt me so' 
                            C 
I said 'I'm not supposed to be like this you know' 
                           Em 
Well I just had to let you go 


       G       D    Em 
What's on your mind? 
            G       D   Em 
When you're lost in time 
       G       D             C 
What's on your mind, tell me why 
                            Em 
Why does it have to be this way? 

verse 2: 
Em 
You were in that dream 

That I was dreaming I was dreaming in a dream 
                           D 
Your nylon dress and I was floating back downstream 
                           Em 
I wanted love to come and swallow everything 

Solo: ( Em  Em  D  Em ) 

Em 
Everything gets real 

Sooner or later, it doesn't matter how you feel 
                               D 
You slam that door shut on the night of glass and steel 
                         C 
I cannot blame you for believing what you believe 
                           Em 
Well I just had to let you go 


       G       D    Em 
What's on your mind? 
            G       D   Em 
When you're lost in time 
       G       D             C 
What's on your mind, tell me why 
                            Am 
Why does it have to be this way? 

Bridge: 
                  C 
Why do you always stay 
       G 
Miles away? 
                D 
And two steps behind 
                        Am 
Where the past is still living 
                 C 
Beautiful and forgiven 
           G 
Do you not see? 
                     D 
That you're living a dream 
D# 
Hey
