B
B
Another time, another day
D
Another baby on the way
E
A dreamboy for your nightmare nights
G#m
Who never shouts and never fights
B
Happy with your 2.2
D
What else is there for you to do
E
But turn and wet the baby's head
G#m
And pray he will be happier than you or me?
G
That's how it's meant to be
D
It's called a lifetime
G
At first you never notice
E
Then the years go flying by and I say
G B
Tread lightly in your dreams
E G B
They might come true for you tomorrow
B
Say sorry to the boys and girls
D
You're sorry for this bloody world
E
Sorry for the sick and old
G#m
And sorry for the lies you told
B
Sorry for the things I did
D
The things we should have left unsaid
E
And walked away and left instead of
G#m
Rubbing salt on all those open sores and wounds
G
We should have left to heal
D
I never knew just what to feel or to expect
G
I tried to stretch my mind but I'd just
E
Get my body wrecked and now I
G B
Tread lightly in my dreams
E G B
They might come true tomorrow
G B
And I don't sleep at night in case
E G C#
I don't wake up tomorrow
I curse the day I met you
But I won't forget you
B D E G#m
Not in my lifetime
B
Another time, another day
D
You'd never give your heart away
E
You'd never think and never cry
G#m
You'd look the devil in the eye
G
And tell him to be gone, bye bye
D
He'll never get you in this lifetime
G E
He'd love to touch you but his hands are tied
G B
So just tread lightly in your dreams
E G B
They might come true for you tomorrow
G B
Tread lightly in your dreams
E G B
They might come true for you tomorrow
E G B
They might come true for you tomorrow
E G B
They might come true tomorrow
E G B E G B
