[Verse 1]
[G]I once had
a dream and I chased it 'til it ended,
Then I [C]chased it 'til it disappeared
[Am]around the bend,
I chased it 'til the [D]thunder clapped,
Chased it 'til the wheels fell off,
Until I could no longer move my fingers
'round a pen to write,
[A]Chased it 'til [G]the end,
I chased it 'til the night came [Gm]calling,
'Til [C]my body gave away into
the angels [D]falling tears no
tears for you darling 'cuz
you helped me to the morning,
No mourning, my baby,
Late [G]80's, driving her Mercedes
to the NASA base,
Shipping off my [C]ashes to
the blackness in space,
[Am]An d then I kept c[D]hasing that dream,
Little did I know I lived it all the way,
Grass is always greener human being,
earth[G]ling, and pre- teener Sifted
through my memories,
[C]Always fell in love with everything,
[Am]I fell in love with art,
[D]I fell in love with her,
I fell in love with healing,
Feeling what your feeling,
Bad and good, [G]Linoleum to ceiling,
That I [Gm]could do very [C]well,
Still have vices in [Am]my essence,
On to the [D]next tale,
Still in love,
Still in love with that [Am]dream.
[G][C]
[Am][D][Am]
[G][C]
The dream won't [Am]let me g[D]o,
Still in love with that dream,
Until I [Am]reach [G]the top.[C][Am][D]
[G]Fall in love every chance that you get,
'Cuz [C]love became the one
commodity I [A]miss the most,
[D]When I left behind the gift of life
and earth and pain and strife,
Yes I no longer feel [G]the pain of
living inside that lonely brain,
The [C]only thingling that [Am]came
with light is [D]darkness,
Had to have both to spark the fire,
Keeping me warm inside with desire,
[G]Also caused me to perspire,
Living is [C]a hot road,
Charcoals that [Am]glow across [D]the globe,
Hot stove burn our fingers and toes,
But once we go we're gonna wanna
[G]feel that feeling anyway,
It flows on like the [C]river Jordan
as I sit here
recording, [D]Think about how much
I fall in love with the music,
Making this music soothes my [A]soul.[G][C][Am][D]
