[A]
[F#m]
The beauty [Em] of a dream [E]
is you don't let it go.
[B]
Once in a [F#m] while a girl [G#] comes along [E]
and opens your [D#m] heart like a sphant in you.
Just how [F#] long can it [E] take?
A bow [F#] [C#m] bends, a bow [B] breaks.
And then when it's [B] time [F#m] to return [G#m] the key, [E] she'll flash you [F#] a smile as she slams the [E] door.
But you didn't have [F#] to do that to me to show me just how [F#] cruel love could be.
[E] The [A] cruel's a show I kinda [G#m] started before.
Listen.
These [C#m] things take [A] time to reach ground [E] zero.
Change hits so [C#m]
hard and the world [A] turns so slow.
[B] These [F#] things take [D] time.
[B] Next time you'll [A] know.
But the [F#m] beauty of a dream is [A] you don't let it go.
[E] You don't ever let it go.
[E] [B] Now [B] how come a hand [F#m] as gentle [G#m] as yours could soften [D#m] a heart not like this [B] one?
It's a [F#] marvel to [E] me the way you wrap my [F#] heart up completely.
Wherever I roam I can't seem [E] to find as decent [F#] a love as the one I [B] left behind.
Keep it [F#] slow though for me, [B] girl.
I never thought I'd sink in this deep.
Oh, darling, I'm sinking like a bug in [G#m] a peach.
Listen.
