she left her shoes out on the beach
D#m
she left my dreams just out of reach
B
she left her footprints in the sand

she left a faded photograph

i thought i heard a siren song
C# D#m
i sang along but i was . . .

D#m G#m
i was only dreamin’
D#m G#m
i was only dreamin’
B F#
visions in my head

talkin in my sleep

turning in my bed

but i was only dreamin’

F#
i met a girl that talked in rhyme
D#m
i met a girl who took her time
B
i saw the ocean in her eyes
C#
i saw myself unrecognized

and all the stars up in the sky
D#m
fell down like rain and made me cry
B
i held the world right in my hands
C#
i held her close but i was . . .
