G Em Bm Bm

[Verse 1]
   G                   Em                           Bm            Bm
Lorie was a girl who built up all her world out of nothing
   G                                         Em                   Bm   Bm
She's got a bright mind and a smile but something in her eyes is fading
 G                                       Em                    Bm        Bm
She thought she could escape from the things in life she was afraid of
 G                                Em                      Bm      Bm
She'd rather take a run than to take a quiet walk in the sun


[Chorus 1]
              Em          C
Waking up from a dream
           G                  Bm
That wasn't quite what it seemed
     Em              C
Waking up to begin
      G                      D          D
A life out' this sunken dream

[Verse 2]
  G                         Em                 Bm         Bm
She always tried to find a reason to deny the real thing
    G                                 Em                     Bm     Bm
Cause something in her mind has been locked from behind for ages
    G                                Em                          Bm       Bm
She built a castle in the sky but a dreadful hollow sound became so loud
     G                                Em                          Bm        Bm
That she couldn't hear a word from the friends who came around to save her

[Chorus 2]
  Em                       C
Waking up from a dream
          G                  Bm
That wasn't quite what it seemed
        Em            C
Waking up to begin
        G                D
A life out of this sunken dream
   Am                        C
Waking up from a dream

[Verse 3]
     G                            Em                     Bm         Bm
She suddenly realized she'd been holding her breath for too long  (soft drums)
    G                             Em                             Bm       Bm
And now she is emerging from a dive within the depths of a dark sea  (soft drums)
      G                    Em                         Bm   Bm
She's coming into sight, yearning for part of a good time
   G                  Em                     Bm           Bm
Desire is the sign that made her leave illusions behind…

[Chorus 3]
    Em                       C
Waking up from a dream
          G                  Bm
That wasn't quite what it seemed
        Em            C
Waking up to begin
        G                D
A life out of this sunken dream
   Am           C
Waking up ……

G Bm  Em G

  A7                 C
Waking up from a dream, a dream…
