         F
Was she never there?
        Gm
Was she ever?
       F
Was it air she breathed?
         Gm
At the wrong time

All the flowers so
From the gallery
With the hymns of night
Singing: "Come to me"

Chorus:
         D#
At the wrong time
         F
On the wrong day
         Gm
All the lights are fading now
         F                 Gm D# C
If I'm dreaming all my life

Just one living chance
When the mother sighs
When the father steps aside
At the wrong time

Was she never there?
Was she ever?
Was it air she breathed?
At the wrong time

Chorus:
         D#
On the wrong day
         F
All the lights are fading now
         Gm
If I'm dreaming all my life
         F
If I'm dreaming all my life

A#          Dm
Was she ever?
D#               F
Was she ever here?
         G                 F
If I'm dreaming all my life
         D                    D#
If I'm dreaming all my life away

Dreaming my life
