[Verse 1]
F#                            G
  Thought I was laying in the gutter in

A                 Bm
 Milk cartons and bones

F#                        G
  But I was standing on a mountain top

A                  Bm
 Looking over your homes
[Verse 2]
F#                        G
  Thought I was laying my garden with

A                 Bm
 My hands deep in soil

F#                      G
  But I was there on an island

A                        Bm
 Shooting flares at your boat
[Interlude] | F# | G | F# | G | [Verse 3]
F#                              G
  Thought I was soothing like a violin

A               Bm
 Confessing new rain

F#                        G
  But I was piping like a trumpet

A            Bm
 Frantic for fame
[Verse 4]
F#                           G
  Thought I was built like a building's built

A                   Bm
 Iron, concrete and stone

F#                     G
  I realize I'm just a hack actor

A                    Bm
 Finished playing my role
[Chorus]
D                G
 Your reading my thoughts

D               G
 Dreams old men dream

D                            G
 It's just like when we were kids

D                     G
 We'd lay around wondering

D                    G         Bm
 We try to listen to what they say

D                    G         Bm
 We try to listen to what they say
[Verse 5]
F#                            G
  Thought I was writing for a hundred hours

A                      Bm
 Looking straight into me

F#                         G
  But I was reading on the news paper

A      Bm
 Obituaries
[Verse 6]
F#                             G
  Thought I was nervous like a mailman

A                      Bm
 Reading your letters, dear

F#                     G
  But I was at our anniversary

A            Bm
 Toasting 30 years
[Chorus]
D                G
 Your reading my thoughts

D               G
 Dreams old men dream

D                            G
 It's just like when we were kids

D                     G
 We'd lay around wondering

D                    G         Bm
 We try to listen to what they say

D                    G         Bm
 We try to listen to what they say
[Interlude] | D | D | Bm | Bm | | D | D | Bm | Bm | [Bridge]
D
 Push my piano outside

Bm
I don't care, I don't care

D
 Beneath the meteor black sky

Bm
I don't care, I don't care

D
 The neighbours will complain

Bm
Let them stare, let them stare

D
 Who knows where the time goes?

Bm
I don't care, I don't care
[Tag]
D               Bm       E7
 What would you think of me if I told you

D          Bm       E7
 I haven't slept in weeks?

D             Bm         E7
 I've been up chasing my childhood with a pin

D                 Bm      E7
 These are dreams old men dream
