Chords

[Verse 1]
A
I don't know
But it seems that every single dream's
Bm
Painted pretty pictures in the air

D            E
And it tumbles in despair

F#m
And it starts to bend

G              A
Until by the end its a nightmare
[Chorus]
Bm           E     A           F#m
I'm gonna give all I've got to give

A            F#m  C     G          A
Cross my heart,   and I hope to live
[Verse 2]
A
I don't know
But it's true, so many things you do
D                  E
Please you so they leave feeling warm

F#m
It's the calm before the storm

G                                  A
For the habit grows and before you know it you're deformed

I'm gonna give all I've got to give

Cross my heart,   and I hope to live
[Verse 3]
A
I don't know
But I see that every thing is free
D                     E
When you're young and treasures you can take

But the bridge is gonna break

G
You reach the end screaming

A
"It's all been a mistake"
[Chorus]
