Fm     Fm7         Fm6         A#m6
Every time that I look in the mirror
Fm          Fm7        Fm6          A#m6
All these lines on my face gettin' clearer
Fm Fm7         Fm6 A#m6
   The past is gone
Fm      Fm7 Fm6         A#m6
It went by like dusk to dawn
Dm7-5           C
Isn't that the way
Dm7-5                 C#maj7           C
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay?

Chorus:
Fm     D#            C#                  D#
I know nobody knows where it comes and where it goes
Fm          D#
I know it's everybody's sin
C#                  D#          Fm
You got to lose to know how to win

Half my life's in books' written pages
Lived and learned from fools and from sages
You know it's true
All the things come back to you

Chorus:
Fm            D#
Sing with me, sing for the years.
C#                        D#
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tears.
 Fm                  D#
Sing with me if it's just for today,
 Dm7-5            C#maj7                     C
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away - x2

Dream yourself a dream come true
A#m      C         C#
Dream on, dream on, dream on
D#                           Fm
Dream until your dream come true
A#m      C        C#        D#
Dream on, Dream on, Dream on, Dream on
Fm       G        G#          A# C
Dream on, Dream on, Dream on, Ah

Chorus - x2
