G
She left her shoes out on the beach,
Em
She left my dreams just out of reach,
C
She left her footprints in the sand,
D
She was a bird right in the hand.

G
I met a girl that made me laugh,
Em
She left a faded photograph,
C
I thought I heard a siren song ,
D                         Em
I sang along but I was...

Em           Am
I was only dreaming
Em           Am
I was only dreaming,
C              G
Visions in my head
              C
Talking in my sleep
               G
Turning in my bed
             C
Life was so complete
                      G
Her shoes were on the beach
B               Em
But I was only dreaming

G
I met a girl that talked in rhyme,
Em
I met a girl who took her time,
C
I saw the ocean in her eyes,
D
I saw myself unrecognized.

G
And all the stars up in the sky,
Em
Fell down like rain and made me cry,
C
I held the world right in my hands,
D                      Em
I held her close but I was...

Em           Am
I was only dreaming
Em           Am
I was only dreaming,
C              G
Visions in my head
              C
Talking in my sleep
               G
Turning in my bed
             C
Life was so complete
                      G
Her shoes were on the beach
B               Em
But I was only dreaming
