Verse:

Db
I dreamed I was drowning
Bbm
In the river Thames
Ab
I dreamed I had nothing at all
Gb                      Db
Nothing but my own skin


Db
I dreamed I was drifting
Bbm
On the howling wind
Ab
I dreamed I had nothing at all
Gb                      Db
Nothing but my own skin

Pre-chorus:

Bbm                    Eb
Slipped away from your open hands
B        Gb
Into the river
Bbm                   Eb
Saw your face looking back at me
B                 Gb              Db
I saw my past and I saw my future

Chorus:

                           Gb
You take the pieces of the dreams that you have
                                  Db
Cause you don't like the way they seem to be going
                                Gb
You cut them up and spread them out on the floor
                             Db
You're full of hope as you begin rearranging
                  B
Put it all back together
                       Gb            Db
But anyway you look at things, looks like
               Ab
The lovers are losing

Verse:

Db
I dreamed I was watching
Bbm
The young lovers dance
Ab
I reached out to touch your hand
          Gb                       Db
But I was watching from a distance

Pre-chorus:

Bbm                     Eb
We cling to love like a skidding car
B               Gb
Clinched to the corner
Bbm                 Eb
I try to hold on to what we are
B                      Gb                Db
The more I squeeze the quicker we all are

Chorus:

                           Gb
You take the pieces of the dreams that you have
                                  Db
Cause you don't like the way they seem to be going
                                Gb
You cut them up and spread them out on the floor
                             Db
You're full of hope as you begin rearranging
                  B
Put it all back together
                       Gb            Db
But anyway you look at things, looks like
               Ab
The lovers are losing

You're full of hope as you begin rearranging
                  B
Put it all back together
           Gb         Db
But in the final reckoning
               Ab
The lovers are losing
