Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
The morning sun opens up my eyes
(What I see is the same world I know you're seeing)
My dreams are real until I realise
(Realising's a slow phase from thought to being )
The waking world is full of cynic's sighs
(Cynicisms a box I don't wanna be in)
I'll stay in bed until I stabilise
I try to write this song To move my life along
I know what i dream of I'll save my life for love
Hidden meanings don't need to hide
(When I hide from the world, you're the one who'll find me)
A dormant scream from the world outside
(If the truth's overdue I know you'll remind me)
If the truth police are sniffing out a lie
(I've done nothing in life I can't put behind me)
I'll use my life as an alibi
Meaning is something I got from you
Whenever I lost the plot you knew
What is it I haven't got when I've got you
(repeat)
All my life I've felt so uptight
Now its all alright
(repeat to fade)
