G G G G
(keyboard plays D, C, B, A)

       F                             G
Thrown down through the arms of sleep she fell through the

Am        Dm
ivory morning

F                  G              F            Am G
Deep into the waters of the one she called love

                 F   Am       G
She paled in the wake of what some call a dream

         G                                               Am Dm
But, you cannot know a dream till you've known the nightmare

        F               G
When I stood with you against the storm and I tried

  Am            Dm                    F                     G
I tried once again well, I said, "I'd like to leave you with something warm"

            Am Dm                  F G
How many times, drowning in the sea, drowning

F       Am        G                      F
That was when the dream took her prisoner

Am               G                 Eb Gm
And she knew the dream was over but

         F                     Eb Gm F
But, the nightmare was not over

       G
Still some call that a dream

          F                  G
Well, you cannot know a dream when you turn away

Am                    Dm
You don't know you'll never care

    F                      G
The night is not your friend and you have not had her

Am                 Dm
well when the nightmare ends

   F          G
But, you never understand

F               Am G
When you're gone

            F Am G
She wakes up     calling out,

      Eb         Gm   F            Eb         Gm  F
oohh, calling out, as children may cry as she will

Am           G                                     Eb
Anytime, oh, anywhere, blinded by the light of the day

        Gm        F
She has known the nightmare

Dm               F                    G            Am           Dm
So about the moon and her sisters how dare he take them prisoner

                 F                      G                                 Am Dm
Well, if she had flung out her heart against him when in all of her wisdom

                       F   G
Oh, well that was a mystery

F       Am        G                      F
That was when the dream took her prisoner

Am               G                 Eb Gm
And she knew the dream was over but

         F                   Eb Gm F
well the nightmare was not over

                       F      Am  G
well somewhere in her ancient ways

    F    Am                G
She walks through the night

                      Eb Gm               F
And then she tries to get through the day

F                                         G
Some will never know or share any kind of dream

    Am       Dm F                                G
The nightmare, this is not the world, this is not the world

    Am      Dm F                                 G
The nightmare, this is not the world, this is not the world

    Am      Dm F                                 G
The nightmare, this is not the world, this is not the world

    Am      Dm F                                 G
The nightmare, this is not the world, this is not the world

Eb                                F
She wants him to fight... anytime, anywhere whe wants him to stand up

                 G
She wants him to win

G                              G
Blinded by the light of the day...
