Dsus2
I know I must be dreaming
A7sus4
That I’m lying safe in bed,
Am7/G
But I hear a distant screaming
Dsus2
That’s an echo in my head.
The voice is so familiar
A7sus4
As I strain to recognize
Am7/G
And I know this storm’s a killer
G/D
As the wind begins to rise.
(Chorus)
Dmadd9
I thought I heard you calling
Cadd9
And I thought I heard your voice.
G7/D
It said that you were falling
Dmadd9
And you didn’t have a choice.
Underneath electric skies,
Cadd9
I’m listening to hear your cries
G7/D
And the wind is shrieking, telling lies,
A7sus4 Dsus2
And it’s a long, long way until the morning,
A7sus4 Dsus2
And it’s a long, long time until the day.
I know what I am hearing,
That you’re lost and can’t be found
And your voice is disappearing
As I’m trapped here on the ground.
Somewhere you are falling free,
A prisoner of the sky.
Somewhere you are calling me
And I need to learn to fly.
(Bridge)
G/D
I stand upon the precipice
Dsus2
And I’ve got to take the dive.
G/D
I’ve got to fly, ‘cause if I miss,
Dsus2
We won’t leave here alive.
Cadd9 G/D
In the lightning and the thunder,
Dsus2
I am left to look within
Amadd4 Em7
With one last chance to wonder
A7sus4 A7
If I have a chance to win.
For a moment, I am falling,
But I’m learning how to steer.
Far off, your voice is calling
And it’s all that I can hear.
I see you and I catch you
And I hold you in my arms.
The wind still tries to snatch you,
But tonight you’re safe from harm.
(Bridge)
And I do not question why we’re here
In the middle of the night,
Or why my arms should draw you near,
Or why I dream of flight.
And as the rain is streaming
In my eyes to make me blind,
I wonder what you’re dreaming
On the far side of your mind.
(Chorus twice)
A7sus4 Dsus2
And it’s a long, long way until the morning,
A7sus4 Dsus2
And it’s a long, long time until the day.
