C#
You made me forget my dreams
       F#               C#
When I woke up to you sleeping
                      F#
We had peace for a night at least
         F#              C#
But the trouble starts today
C#
This morning you'll say

Chorus:
        G#              F#
"I'll see you sometime, maybe"
       C#            F#        C# F#
And I fall back to uneasy sleep

You made me forget my dreams
I was building a space rocket
With the boy who played bass guitar
With the boy who's wearing flares
He didn't care

Chorus
G#                   F#
He lit the fuse and ran for a mile
      C#                      F# C# F#
The space rocket went up in style

I'll lend you two hundred quid
For a flight across the ocean
Maybe things will look better there
'Cause they couldn't seem much worse
Than tears and a curse

Chorus:
For men with guns, maturing in age
Will always pay a shitty wage
Will always pay a shitty wage

You made me forget my dreams
When I woke up to you sleeping
There was blood on the sheets again
And the view outside the window
Of gardens in bloom

Chorus:
Obscured by all the trouble we had
I think I better make a move
I think I better make a move
I think I better make a move
I think I better make a move
