--------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro] 6/8 6/8 4/4 | Dsus2 | % | A | [Verse 1]
            A            C#m
Through the corridors of sleep

     D                A
Past shadows dark and deep

   C#m             D           A
My mind dances and leaps in confusion

        A            C#m
I don’t know what is real

        D            A
I can't touch what I feel

      C#m             D              A
And I hide behind the shield of my illusion
[Chorus]
E           D           A           F#m
So, I'll continue to continue to pretend

   Bm              F#m
My life will never end                  6/8   6/8

      B   Bsus4 B       D    Dmaj7   | Dsus2 | % |
And flowe-ers     never bend with the rainfall
[Verse 2]
    A            C#m
The mirror on my wall

         D              A
Casts an image dark and small

    C#m             D            A
But I’m not sure at all its my reflection

     A              C#m
I am blinded by the light

   D                 A
Of God and truth and right

      C#m           D               A
And I wander in the night without direction
[Chorus]
E           D           A           F#m
So, I'll continue to continue to pretend

   Bm              F#m
My life will never end                  6/8   6/8

      B   Bsus4 B       D    Dmaj7   | Dsus2 | % |
And flowe-ers     never bend with the rainfall
[Verse 3]
   A                C#m
No matter if you’re born

   D                A
To play the king or pawn

        C#m            D                   A
For the line is thinly drawn tween joy and sorrow

G          C#m7
So my fantasy

  D          A
Becomes reality

           C#m            D             A
And I must be what I must be and face tomorrow
[Chorus]
E           D           A           F#m
So, I'll continue to continue to pretend

   Bm              F#m
My life will never end                  6/8   6/8 6/8 6/8 6/8 6/8
