C#
I dreamed I was drowning
A#m
In the river Thames
G#
I dreamed I had nothing at all
F#                     C#
Nothing but my own skin

I dreamed I was drifting
On the howling wind
I dreamed I had nothing at all
Nothing but my own skin

A#m                    D#
Slipped away from your open hands
B    F#
Into river
A#m                   D#
Saw your face looking back at me
B                 F#              C#
I saw my past, and I saw my future

Chorus:
                            F#
You take the pieces of the d reams that you have
                                C#
Cos you don't like the way they seem to be going
                                F#
You cut them up and spread them out on the floor
                             C#
You're full of hope as you begin rearranging
                   B
Put it all back together
                         F#
But any way you look at this
       C#
Looks like
                G#
The lovers are losing

I dreamed I was watching
The young lovers dance
I reached out to touch your hair
But I was watching from a distance

We cling to love like a skidding car
Clings to a corner
I tried to hold onto what we are
The more I squeeze, the quicker we alter

Chorus

G#                           C# G#
I dreamed I had nothing at all
I dreamed I had nothing at all

Chorus

You take the pieces of the dreams that you have
Cause you don't like the way they seem to be going
You cut them up and spread them out on the floor
You're full of hope as you begin rearranging
Put it all back together
But in the final reckoning
Looks like the lovers are losing
