VERSE 1:

Watching a face and a smile and a light
When you're walking alone in the street
I know your look always gives you the might
Many miles from your ass to your feet

CHORUS:

D5       A#5          G5        C5 A5
How many miles to the gate of reality
D5       A#5           C5       F5      G5
How many steps left to go to my dreams
D5       A#5          G5            C5          A5
How many miles to the land where my dreams come true

Dreams which come true just have died

VERSE 2:

Look like a Queen but you talk like a pawn
And I know you're a fool in disguise
Godfather tell me how to carry on
Blinded by fantasies of lies


BRIDGE:

And I dream - what I've seen
Is what I want it to be - selfmade reality

D5       A#5          G5            C5          A5
How many miles to the land where my dreams come true
