 Dmaj6add9
  Oh life is bigger, it's bigger than you.
 And you are not  me, the lengths that I will go  to.
 The distance in your eyes.
 Dmaj6add9
  Oh no, I've said too much, I've said enough.
 That's me in the corner,  That's me in the spot  light,
 Losing my religion.  Trying to keep  up with you.
 And I don't  know if I can do it.
 Dmaj6add9
  Oh no, I've said too much, I haven't said enough.
 I thought that I heard you laughing.
 Dmaj6add9
 I thought that I heard you sing.
   Dmaj6add9
 I think I thought I saw you try.
 Every whisper,
 Every waking hour,  I'm choosing my confessions.
 Trying to keep  eye on you.
 Like a hurt  lost and blinded fool, fool.
 Dmaj6add9
  Oh no, I've said too much. I said enough.
 Consider this,  consider this hint  of the century.
 Consider this,  the slip, that brought  me to my knees pale.
What  if all these fantasies come  flaming aground.
   Dmaj6add9
 Now I've said too much.
 I thought that I heard you laughing.
 Dmaj6add9
 I thought that I heard you sing.
   Dmaj6add9
 I think I thought I saw you try.

That  was just a dream.
 That was just a dream.  That's me in the corner.
 That's me in the spot  light, losing my religion.
 Trying to keep  up with you. And I don't  know if I can do it.
 Oh no, I've said too much.

 I haven't said enough.
 I thought that I heard you laughing.
 Dmaj6add9
 I thought that I heard you sing.
   Dmaj6add9
 I think I thought I saw you try.
   Dmaj6add9
 But that was just a dream, try, cry, why try.
 Dmaj6add9  Dmaj6add9
 That was just a dream, just a dream, just a dream, dream.
