Bm Bm7 Em7
this one’s about a dream i had last night
Bm Bm7 Em7
how an old man tracked me home and stepped inside
Bm Bm7 Em7 G
he put his foot inside the door and gave a crooked smile
D G
something in his eyes something in his laugh
F#m
something in his voice that made my skin crawl off
Bm Bm7 Em7
he said i’ve seen you here before i know your name
Bm Bm7 Em7
you could have your pick of pretty things
Bm Bm7 Em7 G
you could have it all everything at once
D G
everything you’ve seen everything you’ll need
F#m
everything you’ve ever had in fantasies

~verse 2~

Bm Bm7 Em7
i woke up from my dream as a golden man
Bm Bm7 Em7 Bm
with a girl i’ve never seen with golden skin
Bm7 Em7 G
i jumped up to my feet she asked me what was wrong
D G
i began to scream i don’t think this is me
F#m
is this just a dream or really happening

~repeat interlude~

G5 A5
what direction what direction
B5
what direction what direction

i’m splitting up i’m splitting up
D G
this is my personal disaffection
A
what direction what direction what direction now

~verse 3~

Bm Bm7 Em7
i looked outside the glass at golden shores
Bm Bm7 Em7
golden ships and masts with golden cords
Bm Bm7 Em7 G
as my refection passed i hated what i saw
D G
my golden eyes were dead and a thought passed through my head
F#m
a heart that is made of gold can’t really beat at all

~bridge~

G5
i wanted to wake up again

i wanted to wake up again
Em7 G
without a touch of gold
A
without a touch of gold

~chorus 2~
G5 p . m
what direction what direction

what direction what direction

death or action
G
life begins at the intersection
A
what direction what direction what direction now

~verse 4~

Bm Bm7 Em7
i woke up as before but the gold was gone
Bm Bm7 Em7
my wife was at the door with her night robe on
Bm Bm7 Em7 G
my heart beat once or twice and life flooded my veins
D G
everything had changed my lungs had found their voice
F#m
and what was once routine was now the perfect joy

~outro~
D6 Bm7 G6add13
you’ve one life you’ve one life one life left to lead
D6 Bm7 G6add13
you’ve one life you’ve one life one life left to lead
