Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  don't know
 But it seems that every single dream's
Painted  pretty pictures in the air
And  it tumbles  in despair
And  it starts to bend
Until  by the end  its a nightmare
I'm  gonna give  all I've  got to give
Cross  my heart, and  I hope  to live
 I don't know
 But it's true, so many things you do
 Please you so they leave feeling warm
 It's the calm before the storm
 For the habit grows and before you know it you're deformed
 I'm gonna give all I've got to give
 Cross my heart, and I hope to live
 I don't know
 But I see that every thing is free
 When you're young and treasures you can take
 But the bridge is gonna break
 You reach the end screaming
 "It's all been a mistake"
 I'm gonna give all I've got to give
 Cross my heart, and I hope to live
 I don't know
 But it seems that every single dream's
 painted pretty pictures in the air
 Then it tumbles in despair
 And it starts to bend
 Until by the end its a nightmare
 I'm gonna give all I've got to give
 Cross my heart, and I hope to live
