      [Intro]
Dm F Am G (x4)

[Verse 1]
         Dm                        C        Dm/F   C
When your heart gives out and your love collapses,
         Dm                   C              Dm/F  C
when the hand that never lets go is there no more.
         Dm                C            Dm/F       C
When you reap and sow only throe and resentment,
             Dm              C               Dm/F  C
when there's no one else but you to blame it for.

[Verse 2]
             Dm                  C            Dm/F C
When all you ever wish for is to go back once more,
             Dm               C            Dm/F    C
when all you ever wish for is to change it all.
             Dm        C                 Dm/F      C
When all you feel is remorse, pain and regret,
         Dm                 C             Dm/F     C
when you dwell in the past unable to move on.

[Chorus]
       A#
And we drift far away in our dreams,
       Dm
gather further distance while we sleep.
        F
Build a wall of glass thick and deep,
    C
we hear but choose not to listen.
       A#
And we drift far away in our dreams,
       Dm
gather further distance while we sleep.
          C
Still the bridge is enflamed with fire,
              A#
leave all the love we had behind.

[Main Riff]
Dm F Am G (x2)

[Verse 3]
         Dm                C                 Dm/F  C
When you realize that your life is a one-way road,
         Dm                   C             Dm/F   C
when you realize that there's no point of return.
         Dm                  C                Dm/F C
When you understand that you can't go back anymore,
         Dm                 C         Dm/F         C
when you understand you can only move onwards.

[Chorus]
       A#
And we drift far away in our dreams,
       Dm
gather further distance while we sleep.
        F
Build a wall of glass thick and deep,
    C
we hear but choose not to listen.
       A#
And we drift far away in our dreams,
       Dm
gather further distance while we sleep.
          C
Still the bridge is enflamed with fire,
              A#
leave all the love we had behind.
