E                A                        E
I'm lucky, I can open the door and I can walk
           A
down the street
E                  A                       C#m
Unlucky, I've got no place to go and so I follow
my feet

Chorus:
C#m          A             E               B
A choice is facing you, a healthy dose of pain
C#m          A                  E                B
A choice is facing you as you stare through the rain
C#m          A             E               B
A choice is facing you but I choose to refrain
       E
for today
         G#m                A
Tomorrow we'll be back in trouble again

Dream one, you had a whole lot of fun with
a comedian
Stop short of going all the way, you’ll have
to make it someday

Chorus:
Why is this happening to you? You’re not a child
Why is this happening? You’ve too much on your mind
Things creep up on you when you are fast asleep
You are dreaming, you are sleepy
You are stuck to the sheets

C#m    A                     E             B
“In a town so small there's no escaping you
In a town so small there's no escape from view
In a town so small there's nothing left to do”

Dream two, you couldn’t see her face but you
saw everything else
Dream two was pretty special, easily beats
loving yourself

Chorus:
Could you put a name to someone else's sigh?
Could you put a face to someone else's eyes?
Is it someone that you’d maybe recognize?
But it all fades into morning when you
open your eyes
