G C I took a long hard look G C At the heroes of my youth G C And their antics on the page there on G C Can no longer sustain me G C Ever since I was a boy G C They brought me joy G C But the shackles of the way I was G C Can no longer contain me Chorus: G It was exciting Dm7 And enlightening C B Reverberating through my dreams C Am D Goodbye to reality C D And set a course for wayward schemes Now I can't sing, I can't feel I don't know what is real I was traveling through the past for years Tell me what's my destination Now the past is gone I don't even have a song We've not sung before To a closing door Tell me what's my situation? Chorus: I saw the film, I lived the book I got the haircut, that's all it took But now I know it's gonna take A little more now I'm awake I took a long hard look Now I'm waiting for the phone to ring I glance at the inbox Is there any tantalising mail there in? There was lust in my restless heart But now I know what true love means Goodbye to reality And set sail for dreams You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  B  C  D  Dm7  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
