[Verse 1]
D      Bm
Once I awoke
    F#m                                  A
The shadow of your smile had crossed my mind
    D                                   C#m
How could I know this was your last goodbye
G#m                          B                Gmaj7
 That's slipping through the windmills of the night
    Dmaj7                       A              G
You never understand when she's talking to you, little boy
Bm          Dmaj7                       A
Oooh    You never understand when she's talking to you
      G
She's too far away

[Chorus]
F D               C#m
   Is it heaven or hell
      G#m                          B    C#
We're drifting in the wake of our dreams
D                   C#m
 And the world is a clown who cries
    G#m                    B            Gmaj7
And no one can tell is he real - is he, is he real?

[Verse 2]
D         Bm
Once I've cried
    F#m                  A
Whenever I awoke without you
   D                             C#m
A stranger in the thunder of the dark
G#m                  B             Gmaj7
  I'm praying to the sun to shine tonite
    Dmaj7                       A              G
You never understand when she's talking to you, mon amour
Bm          Dmaj7                       A
Oooh    You never understand when she's talking to you
      G
She's too far away

[Chorus]
F D               C#m
   Is it heaven or hell
      G#m                          B    C#
We're drifting in the wake of our dreams
D                   C#m
 And the world is a clown who cries
    G#m                 B
And no one can tell...

[Chorus]
             D  C#m
Is it heaven or hell
      G#m                          B    C#
We're drifting in the wake of our dreams
D                   C#m
 And the world is a clown who cries
    G#m                   B
And no one can tell is he   real!

[Chorus]
F D                C#m
   Is it heaven or hell
      G#m                          B     C#
We're drifting in the wake of our dreams
D                   C#m
 And the world is a clown who cries
    G#m                     B           Gmaj7
And no one can tell is he real - is he, is he real?
            Dmaj7
A clown who cries.
