Richard Thompson - You Dream Too Much

you dream too much

C5 G5 D5
she came down the stairs in her cocktail dress
C5 G5 D5
she fell on her food like a lioness
C5 G5 D5
there was ringing in my ears like an s o s
Em C D Em C F D
she said “you dream too much if you think i’ve a thing for you .
Em C D A
you dream too much . it’s going to end bad”

the boom box was sounding sweet
we were dancing to a jungle beat
just when our lips were about to meet
she said “you dream too much . who’s that girl in your dreams with you?
you dream too much . it’s going to end bad”

E G
you’ll stumble going through life the way that you do
E G
i hope i’m somewhere else the day that you do
A7
the way that you do

she had a chassis like an xjs
a skull necklace like a high priestess
i thought maybe just one caress
she said “you dream too much . you’re dreaming now while i’m talking to you .
you dream too much . it’s going to end bad . oh it’s going to end bad”

all my life i’ve been like this
i start thinking of the perfect kiss
velvet dream on an iron fist
she said “you dream too much . even this isn’t really true .
Em C D A G
you dream too much . it’s going to end bad . oh it’s going to end bad .
Bm G
ah it’s going to end bad . it’s going to end bad”
