[G] [F] [Gm]
It [G] doesn't matter [F] anymore, it doesn't matter [G] anymore
[F] Words dry [G] up and fly [F] away With the passing [G] of the days
[Gm] Eventually, [G] you just let the storm fall
[C] [G] I dreamed [Am] that I saw you, you [F] down there on [G] the storm
[C] You were looking [Am] through maze and then you flew [G] out the door
I was [Am] trying to wave to you but you [G] wouldn't wave back
[Am] Now you know I understand you're [G] with me only [Am] in the past
[G] Only in the [Am] past
[G]
You're with me only in the past
Only in the past
You're with me only in the past
Only in the past
My paws are not open, they're closed, they're closed
They're closed, they're closed
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I [Am] dreamed that I saw you, [Bb] you down there [G] on the storm
[C]
You [Am] were looking through maze and then you [G] flew out the door
I was [Am] trying to wave to you but you wouldn't [G] wave back
[Am] Now you know I [F] understand you're [G] with me only [C]
in the [Am] past
[G] Only [Am] in the past
[G] [Am]
Colors streak the sky, we [G] laugh and we cry
[C] We dance [Am] in the cool red every
[G] Fireflies and we [Am] dance in the cool [F] red [G] sunset
[C] Oh, sweet, [Am] sweet music
Swallow [G] our words, [C]
[Am] you said [G] this time
[C] Run away, [Am] run away, so [G] far
So [C]
far from [Am] the cloud
[G] So [C] far from [Am] the cloud

Words dry [G] up and fly [F] away
We're [G] passing over days eventually
You just left a stone in the fire
[F] I [G] [C]
dreamed that [Am] I saw you, [F] you down there [G] on the storm
[C]
You [Am] were looking through maze and then you [G] flew out the door
I [C] was trying to wave [Am] to you but you [G] wouldn't wave back
[Am] Now you know I understand you're [G] with me only [Am] in the past
[G] [C] Only in the [Am] past
