[Verse 1]
         G         C
I took a long hard look

       G            C
At the heroes of my youth

          G             C
And their antics on the page there on

    G            C
Can no longer sustain me

 G                 C
Ever since I was a boy

G               C
They brought me joy

        G               C
But the shackles of the way I was

    G            C
Can no longer contain me
[Chorus]
         G
It was exciting

      Dm7
And enlightening

  C           B
Reverberating through my dreams

    C   Am    D
Goodbye to reality

          C             D*
And set a course for wayward schemes
[Verse 2]
N.C.        G             C
Now I can't sing, I can't feel

        G            C
I don't know what is real

      G                      C
I was travelling through the past for years

        G              C
Tell me what's my destination

        G       C
Now the past is gone

        G           C
I don't even have a song

          G                C
We've not sung before to a closing door

        G             C
Tell me what's my situation?
[Chorus]
          G
I saw the film

            Dm7
I lived the book

          C
I got the haircut

           B
That's all it took

    C   Am     D
But now I know it's gonna take

  C                 D         N.C.
A little more now I am awake

[Verse 3]
   G         C
...long hard look

        G               C
Now I'm waiting for the phone to ring

  G             C
I glance at the inbox

         G               C
Is there any tantalising mail there in?
[Chorus]
          G
There was lust in

   Dm7
My restless heart

    C               B
But now I know what true love means

     C  Am   D
Goodbye to reality

        C    D   G*
And set sail for dreams
