[Intro]
N.C. (horns)
D Bm (x3)
[Verse 1]
D Bm In echoed steps I walked across an empty dream, D C Bm I looked across this world, there's no-one to be seen. D Bm This empty feeling turned and quietly walked away, D G9 I saw no warmth in life - no love was in my eyes.
[Verse 2]
D Bm I stared a century thinking this will never change, D C Bm As I hesitated time rushed onwards without me. D Bm Too scared to break the spell, too small to take a fall, D G9 A9 But the Absolute luck is - love is in our hearts!
[Chorus]
B B/A# G#m F# I lost some hours thinking of it B B/A# G#m F# I need the strength to go and get what I want B B/A# G#m F# I lost a lifetime thinking of it B B/A# G#m A F# An' lost an era daydreaming like do. D Bm (x3) C A (horn solo)
[Verse 3]
D Bm I stared a century thinking this will never change, D C Bm As I hesitated time rushed onwards out without me. D Bm Too scared to break the spell to small to take a fall, D G9 But the Absolute luck is - love is in our hearts! G9 Hah!
[Verse 4]
D Bm In echoed steps you walk across an empty dream D C Bm But look arond this world, there's millions to be seen. D Bm Come see the tyrants panic see their crumbling empires fall D G9 A9 Then tell 'em we don't fight for fools - 'cos love is our hearts!
[Chorus]
B B/A# G#m F# I lost some hours thinking of it B B/A# G#m F# I need the strength to go and get what I want B B/A# G#m F# I lost a lifetime thinking of it B B/A# G#m F# And lose an era daydreaming like I do B B/A# G#m F# You can lose some hours thinking of it B B/A# G#m F# You need the strength to go and get what you want B B/A# G#m F# You can lose a lifetime thinking of it B B/A# G#m A And lose an era daydreaming like I do
