  ice cold stare and said I’ve been having those dreams again
 Every verse is basically played the same, but sometimes Adam throws in a C chord for the
 two beats of the 1st or 2nd line of each verse, instead of just the Em riff. He also
 an extra bar of the Em riff after some of the verses. I have indicated this below.
  In one  dream there's this girl  I love
  And we dance  every wakin' breath
  And in the other  they've thrown me in  a cell
   X2
  And they're tryin' me for her death
  I'm only  young and young  in love
  As I hold  that girl today
  But I'm old  and tired and in  the cell
   X2
  And I've nigh on withered away
 Play the intro again, but skip the first time through, so you only play it 4X, all with
 “Ooh”s. Note that the first words of the next verse below (“Y’see my”) fall on the last
 and a half of the bridge.
  Y'see my baby'  gone away  too long
  And I'm chokin'  back the tears
  Disheveled  star in a burnt  out bar
  And I'm talkin'  in my drink
  She promised  me the world  and more
  How could  she do this to  me?
  And now  mine's tumblin' down  around
  But at least  my eyes can see,  And those
  *  X2
  stars in the sky are for me
  So as  this fagged-out tinsel  town
  Waves so-long  to the sun
  I lay  here calmly on  my bed
  And the trigger  of my gun
  And should  that no good woman  show up
  Dancin'  from a dream
  I'll squeeze  it twice and not  think twice
  And relish  every scream
 On the last line of the last verse, Adam sings “scream” an octave higher, and moves
 into the falsetto “Ooh”s like in the Intro. “Scream” replaces the first “Ooh ooh”, so it
 like this:
  1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
  Scre- eam oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh
  Ooh oo-ooh
  Ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh
  Ooh ooh ooh ooh
  ooh
 Gradually slow down the last few bars until the end.

    ice cold stare and said I’ve been having those dreams again

Every verse is basically played the same, but sometimes Adam throws in a C chord for the
two beats of the 1st or 2nd line of each verse, instead of just the Em riff. He also
an extra bar of the Em riff after some of the verses. I have indicated this below.

   In [G]one dream there's this [Em]girl I love

   And we [G]dance every wakin' [Em]breath[C]

   And in the [G]other they've thrown me [Em]in a cell

               [C]                 [Em] X2
   And they're tryin' me for her death

   I'm [G]only young and [Em]young in love

   As I [G]hold that girl [Em]today [C]

   But I'm [G]old and tired and [Em]in the cell

            [C]                 [Em] X2
   And I've nigh on withered away

Play the intro again, but skip the first time through, so you only play it 4X, all with
“Ooh”s. Note that the first words of the next verse below (“Y’see my”) fall on the last
and a half of the bridge.

   Y'see my [G]baby' gone a[Em]way too long

   And I'm [G]chokin' back the [Em]tears [C]

   Di[G]sheveled star in a [Em]burnt out bar
   And I'm [C]talkin' in my [Em]drink

   She [G]promised me the [Em]world and more

   How [G]could she do this [Em]to me?[C]

   And [G]now mine's tumblin' [Em]down around

   But at [C]least my eyes can [Em]see, And those

   [C]            [C]*          [Em] X2
   stars in the sky are for me

   So [G]as this fagged-out [Em]tinsel town

   Waves [G]so-long to the [Em]sun [C]

   I [G]lay here calmly [Em]on my bed

   And the [C]trigger of my [Em]gun

   And [G]should that no good [Em]woman show up

   [G]Dancin' from a [Em]dream[C]

   I'll [G]squeeze it twice and [Em]not think twice

   And [C]relish every [Em]scream

On the last line of the last verse, Adam sings “scream” an octave higher, and moves
into the falsetto “Ooh”s like in the Intro. “Scream” replaces the first “Ooh ooh”, so it
like this:

     1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
        Scre-       eam         oo-ooh  ooh   oo-ooh
        Ooh                                   oo-ooh
        Ooh         ooh         oo-ooh  ooh   oo-ooh
        Ooh                           ooh   ooh   ooh
        ooh

Gradually slow down the last few bars until the end.
