[Intro] A7 A7sus4 A7 A7sus4 A7 A7sus4 A7 A7sus4 Bm Em A [Verse]

    D           F#m
I recall how we lived

       Am          Am7
On the corner of a bed

         C                      G
And we'd speak of a Swedish room

               Eb
Of hessian and wood

         D             F#m
And we'd talk with our eyes

       Am               Am7
Of the sweetness in our lives

      C                       G
And tomorrows of rich surprise

                     Eb  F  A
Some things we could do

[Chorus]

C
In our madness we burnt one hundred days

Time takes time to pass

                            Eb
And I still hold some ashes to me

    F
An occasional dream

[Bridge] A7 A7sus4 A7 A7sus4 Bm Em A [Verse]

         D            F#m
And we'd sleep, oh so close

        Am               Am7
But not really close our eyes

           C                              G
'Tween the sheets of summer bathed in blue

               Eb
Gently weeping nights

       D     F#m
It was long, long ago

      Am                     Am7
And I still can't touch your name

        C                               G
For the days of fate were strong for you

                    Eb  F  A
Danced you far from me

[Outro]

C
In my madness I see your face in mine

I keep a photograph, it burns my wall with time

Eb       F
Time an occasional dream

   Eb       F
Of mine an occasional dream

   Ab        Bb       A        Dm  C  G  Bb  A7
Of mine an occasional dream of mine
