Intro :
C6 G D C6 G D C G
Verse:
G D5
We're just half a dream away
C6
Sitting on our fences
G
Building up defences
D C
Making up the rules by wich we play
G D5
We're just half way down the road
C6
Staking our positions
G
Stupid superstitions
D C
Only give fools to heavy a load
Chorus:
F C G
The magpie screeched and the window is shattered
F C G
Her body's bruised but her soul's not battered
F C G
The fireman tried but the hose was frozen
F C G
The cupboards bare but the door needs closing
Verse 2:
G D5
We spend half our time away
C6
From being where we want to
G
And seeing who it's fun to
D C
Not blaming ourselves for our mistakes
G D5
We spend half a dream away
C6
Looking out of windows
G
Waiting for a signal
D C
Waiting for night to turn to day
Chorus 2:
F C G
The tree was bare but the birds were singing
F C G
The milk turned sour and my thirst needs quenching
F C G
The meat was dead and I need me feeding
F C G
The room was cold but the night was freezing
Chorus 2 is played:
Trombone solo
Chorus 3 & 4:
F C G
The rainbow frowned when the sun was shining
F C G
A baby's snatched on a beautiful morning
F C G
A dog runs wild and the breaks are screaming
F C G
A church on fire is struck by lightning
F C G
The dead man's hands had beautiful fingers
F C G
The princess frowned at her lovers mistress
F C G
She went insane and poisoned the children
F C G
A teacher's drowned and a child is laughing
Fade-out:
G D5
We're just half a dream away x4
