Verse :
BmBm7Em7
This one's about a dream I had last night
BmBm7Em7
How an old man tracked me home and stepped inside
BmBm7Em7G
He put his foot inside the door and gave a crooked smile
DG
Something in his eyes something in his laugh
F#m
Something in his voice that made my skin crawl off
BmBm7Em7
He said I've seen you here before I know your name
BmBm7Em7
You could have your pick of pretty things
BmBm7Em7G
You could have it all everything at once
DG
Everything you've seen everything you'll need
F#m
everything you've ever had in fantasies
Interlude :
D6Bm7 G6add13
You've one life you've one life you've one life left to lead
D6Bm7 G6add13
You've one life you've one life you've one life left to lead
Verse 2 :
BmBm7Em7
I woke up from my dream as a golden man
BmBm7Em7Bm
With a girl I've never seen with golden skin
Bm7Em7G
I jumped up to my feet she asked me what was wrong
DG
I began to scream I don't think this is me
F#m
Is this just a dream or really happening
REPEAT Interlude :
Chorus :
G5A5
What direction what direction
B5
What direction what direction
I'm splitting up I'm splitting up
DG
This is my personal disaffection
A
What direction what direction what direction now
Verse 3 :
BmBm7Em7
I looked outside the glass at golden shores
BmBm7Em7
Golden ships and masts with golden cords
BmBm7Em7G
As my refection passed I hated what I saw
DG
My golden eyes were dead and a thought passed through my head
F#mA heart that is made of gold can't really beat at all
Bridge :
G5
I wanted to wake up again
I wanted to wake up again
Em7G
Without a touch of gold
A
Without a touch of gold
Chorus 2 :
G5 P.M
What direction what direction
What direction what direction
Death or action
G
Life begins at the intersection
A
What direction what direction what direction now
Verse 4 :
BmBm7Em7
I woke up as before but the gold was gone
BmBm7Em7
My wife was at the door with her night robe on
BmBm7Em7G
My heart beat once or twice and life flooded my veins
DG
Everything had changed my lungs had found their voice
F#m
And what was once routine was now the perfect joy
