E|--2-----0-------3/5------5-------3--------|

Oh, I'm choking, I'm choking

On the smoke from this burning house

I claw and I scrape

But I can't seem to get out

But who then, who is this

That's scratching from the ground

Oh, it's my world, too

But whose gold is this I'm digging out?

When we go, where we go

When we're dead

Is the verdict still out?

Do we get into line

To line up with those long dead now?

With the muffled tears of sorrow

Bones underground

Is this time our time?

Yes, it is

Without or with this shadow of doubt

Chorus:

A Dsus2

I don't want to wake up

Bm D/F#

Lost in the Dreams of our Fathers

A Dsus2

Oh, it's such a waste child

Bm D/F#

To live and die for the Dreams of our Fathers

A Dsus2

Though I must confess, yes

Bm D/F#

My view is a wonder about this

A Dsus2

This love I possess, love

Bm D/F#

Must be the Dreams of our Fathers

Verse II:

I wanna go, I wanna run

We turn, so sure someone's looking down

It's haunting me, haunting me

Leaves us here to get out

Though I don't believe, I don't believe

This flavor in my mouth

Is from my tongue alone

So bitter I wanna spit it out

I repeat these words

They come out

Under the blue light in the sky

My empty pages are filling up

With these wicked lies

But I hear deep in myself

An echo, an echo

Of empty, empty emptiness

Comes up and swells inside

Chorus:

I don't want to wake up

Lost in the Dreams of our Fathers

Oh, it's such a waste child

To live and die for the Dreams of our Fathers

Though I must confess, yes

My view is a wonder about this

This love I possess, love

It must be the Dreams of our Fathers

E5 E5/C#

Rain on my head

D5 A A#5

Rain on my head

Rain on me

And then give me air

Rain on my love

Again and again

Why can't I dream you away from me?

Verse III:

Look here, look here

Bloated, floating
