(intro 2x) Bm A G

Bm  A                  Em
   This one’s about a dream

I had last night
Bm         A                  Em
   How an old man tracked me home

And stepped inside
   Bm       A               Em
He put his foot inside the door
                     G
And gave a crooked smile
                 F#m
Something in his eyes
                  G
Something in his laugh
                  F#
Something in his voice

That made my skin crawl off

Bm               A                 Em
   He said, "I’ve seen you here before

I know your name
Bm         A         Em
You could have your pick

of pretty things
Bm         A      Em
You could have it all
                G
Everything at once
                   F#m
Everything you’ve seen,
                    G
Everything you’ll need,
                        F#
Everything you’ve ever had in fantasies”

Bm                A
"You’ve one life,  You’ve one life
G
 You’ve one life left to lead
Bm                A
 You’ve one life,  You’ve one life
G
 You’ve one life left to lead”

Bm   A               Em
  I woke up from my dream

As a golden man
Bm        A               Em
  With a girl I’ve never seen

With golden skin
Bm      A            Em
  I jumped up to my feet
                        G
She asked me what was wrong
             F#m
I began to scream
                      G
I don’t think this is me
                 F#
Is this just a dream or really happening?

Bm                A
"You’ve one life,  You’ve one life
G
 You’ve one life left to lead
Bm                A
 You’ve one life,  You’ve one life
G
 You’ve one life left to lead”

G
 What direction?
A
 What direction?
Bm
  I’m splitting up! I’m splitting up!
D
 This is my personal disaffection
G                        A
 What direction? What direction?

What direction now?

Bm   A                  Em
  I looked outside the glass

At golden shores
Bm A               Em
  Golden ships and masts

With golden cords
Bm   A             Em
  As my reflection passed
                G
I hated what I saw
                    F#m
My golden eyes were dead
                                 G
And a thought passed through my head
                         F#
A heart that is made of gold can’t really beat at all

G
 I wanted to wake up again
                       F#m
 I wanted to wake up again
                     F
 Without a touch of gold
G                    A
 Without a touch of gold

G               A
 What direction?
Bm               D
  What direction?
G               A
 What direction? What direction?
Bm
  What direction? (Death or action!)
D
 Life begins at the intersection
G               A
 What direction? What direction?

 What direction now?

Bm   A           Em
  I woke up as before

But the gold was gone
Bm    A               Em
  My wife was at the door

With her night robe on
Bm    A                  Em
  My heart beat once or twice
                     G
And life flooded my veins
                  F#m
Everything had changed
                          G
My lungs had found their voice
                    F#
And what was once routine was now the perfect joy

Bm                A
"You’ve one life,  You’ve one life
G
 You’ve one life left to lead
Bm                A
 You’ve one life,  You’ve one life
G
 You’ve one life left to lead”
