{start_of_verse: Verse 1}
Oh, [Am]life is bigger, [Em] it's bigger than you
And you are [Am]not me, the lengths that I will [Em]go to,
The distance in your [Am]eyes, [Em] oh no,
I've said too [Dm]much, I set it [G]up
{end_of_verse}
{start_of_verse: Verse 2}
That's me in the [Am]corner, that's me in the [Em]spotlight
Losing my re[Am]ligion, trying to [Em]keep up with you
And I [Am]don't know if I can do it, [Em] oh no,
I've said too [Dm]much, I haven't said e[G]nough
{end_of_verse}
{start_of_chorus: Chorus 1}
I [G]thought that I heard you [F]laughing,
I [Dm]thought that I [G]heard you [Am]sing [Am/B] [Am/C] [Am/D]
[Am/E]I [F]think I thought I [Dm]saw [G]you [Am]try [G]
{end_of_chorus}
{start_of_verse: Verse 3}
Every [Am]whisper of every waking [Em]hour,
I'm choosing my con[Am]fessions, trying to [Em]keep an eye on you
Like a [Am]hurt lost and blinded fool, fool, [Em] oh no,
I've said too [Dm]much, I set it [G]up
{end_of_verse}
{start_of_verse: Verse 4}
Consider [Am]this, consider this, the [Em]hint of a century,
Consider [Am]this: the slip that [Em]brought me to my knees failed
[Am]What if all these fantasies come [Em] flailing around?
Now I've [Dm]said - too [G]much

Just a [G]dream, dream
