      A
Some rights and some wrongs, some heroes and songs
    Bm
are much better left unsung
         E
Between fiction and fact, illusion and pact
             A
where we've been into what we've become
    A
Although we have changed, we're never estranged
             Bm
and there's nothing I'd trade from before
   D            A        C#m              F#m
I love you my friend, my dear means to an end
            D          E        A
but you're not in my dreams anymore

I'll never ally
All the voices goodbye
To the magical mystery tour
Keep the tears that I cried
In my youth and my pride
And the sorrow like never before
I've got thank yous and smiles
And affection for miles
And I always will look unto you
You held open the door
For who I'm sent here for
To come in and make my dreams come true
Although it was sad
And it hurt 'cause it had to
There's nothing I'd change from before
I love you, my friend
My dear, means to an end
But you're not in my dreams anymore

Although it was sad
And it hurt really bad
There's nothing I'd change from before
I love you, my friend
My dear, means to an end
But you're not in my dreams anymore

You're not in my dreams anymore
