      When I awoke today, 
     F#         B       E  B
      suddenly nothing happened 
C#m7 D#        E D# C#m7              B    B
      But in my dreams, I slew the dragon 
  C#m7 D#      E    F#                  B  E  B 
      And down this beaten path,    and up this cobbled lane 
   C#m7 D#         E   D#   C#m7          B    E  B 
      I'm walking in my old footsteps, once again.

       And you say, just be here now 
                 E
       Forget about the past, 
             C#m7             B    B C#m7 D# E
       your mask is wearing thin 
        E      B              F#     
       Let me throw one more dice 
                          E
       I know that I can win 
            F#     E   B  E  B
       I'm waiting, for my real life, to begin
