Intro: G   C   D   G     C   D    
  
    G        C          D              G  
And when I remember how good your love feels  
                    C        D    
The real world goes slipping away 
    G                C          D              G             
And though it's just dreaming I make your love true 
                    C                  G     D  G 
And I trade in this real world for one dream of you 
  
  
          C               D             G   
I go to a clearing in the woods that we share 
                    C        D    
When the real world holds us apart 
         G               C          D              G   
Though I can't hold your hand and I can't kiss you there 
                   C                  G  D    G    
I will die in this real world to live in your heart 
  
  
Bridge: 
    Em          Bm              C        G                
And though over-simple is there anything else  
    Em       Bm       C        D  
Sometimes I awaken to question myself 
   
  
    G               C           D          G  
Oh, what fools what children to follow the heart 
                       C             D    
For a dream that might last just one night 
    G              C             D              G  
But something that doesn't speak English says, 'Do' 
                    C                  G     D    G  
And I trade in this real world for one night with you 
                   C               D        G   
And something with wings and speaks only in blues 
                       C                  G     D    G  
Tells me trade in this real world for one night with you
