D F#m I recall how we lived Am Am7 On the corner of a bed C G And we'd speak of a Swedish room D# Of hessian and wood D F#m And we'd talk with our eyes Am Am7 Of the sweetness in our lives C G And tomorrows of rich surprise D# F A Some things we could do Chorus: C In our madness we burnt one hundred days Time takes time to pass D# And I still hold some ashes to me F An occasional dream And we'd sleep, oh so close But not really close our eyes Between the sheets of summer Bathed in blue. Gently weeping nights It was long, long ago And I still can't touch your name For the days of fate Were strong for you. Danced you far from me Chorus: C In my madness I see your face in mine I keep a photograph, it burns my wall with time D# F Time an occasional dream D# F Of mine an occasional dream G# A# A Dm C G A# A7 Of mine an occasional dream of mine You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Am  A#  A7  Am7  C  D  Dm  D#  F  F#m  G  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
