[Am] [Am] [G] (Oh.. bit) [G]
[Verse 1]
Oh, [Am] life is bigger
[Em] It's bigger than you
And you are [Am] not me.
The lengths that I will [Em] go to,
The distance in your [Am] eyes,
[Em] Oh no, I've said too [Dm] much,
I set it [G] up. (stop)
[Chorus]
That's me in the [Am] corner,
That's me in the [Em] spotlight
Losing my re [Am] ligion.
Trying to [Em] keep up with you.
And I [Am] don't know if I can do it.
[Em] Oh no, I've said too [Dm] much,
I haven't said e [G] nough.
[Bridge]
I [G] thought that I heard you [F] laughing,
I [Dm] thought that I [G] heard you
[Am] sing. [Am/B] ..... [Am/C] ..... [Am/D] ....
[Am] I [F] think I thought I
[Dm] saw [G] you [Am] try. [G] (stop)
[Verse 2]
Every [Am] whisper (drums in)of every waking
[Em] hour I'm choosing my con [Am] fessions,
Trying to [Em] keep an eye on you
Like a [Am] hurt lost and blinded fool, fool
[Em] Oh no, I've said too [Dm] much,
I set it [G] up. (stop)
[Verse 3]
Consider [Am] this, consider this,
The [Em] hint of a century,
Consider [Am] this: the slip
That [Em] brought me to my knees failed.
[Am] What if all these fantasies
Come [Em] flailing around?
Now I've [Dm] said too [G] much.
[Bridge]
I [G] thought that I heard you l [F] aughing,
I [Dm] thought that I [G] heard you
[Am] sing. [Am/B] ..... [Am/C] ..... [Am/D] ....
[Am] I [F] think I thought I
[Dm] saw [G] you [Am] try. [G]

But [C] that was just a [Dm] dream,
[C] That was just a [Dm] dream.
[Chorus]
That's me in the [Am] corner [drums back in]
That's me in the [Em] spotlight
Losing my re [Am] ligion.
Trying to [Em] keep up with you.
And I [Am] don't know if I can do it.
[Em] Oh no, I've said too [Dm] much,
I haven't said e [G] nough.

But [F] that was just a [Dm] dream [G] ,
[Am]Try [Am/B]cry [Am/C]why [Am/D]try [Am]
[F] That was just a dream, [Dm]
[G] just a [Am] dream, just a [G] dream, dream. [stop drums]
