C#                                          G#
Could you tell the enchantment and say goodbye
                    F#            C#
I met a girl named disillusionment

Could you tell her I made the headlines?
Says "boy draws wings on everything"

Could you tell her to check the headlines?
Says "boy burns angels in the river"

Chorus:
C#                   G#
You know I dreamed about you
               F#
For 29 years before
  C#
I saw you

You know I dreamed about you
I missed you for 29 years

Birds are flying out of water
Underneath the sky

I run up to the rainbow girl
Just to pass it by

And I'll never have a change of heart
My swan will never sing

I have no heart, the swan is gone
And now I wear the wings

Chorus:
You know I dreamed about you
For 29 years before I saw you
You know I dreamed about you
I missed you for 29 years
You know I dreamed about you
For 29 years before I saw you
You know I dreamed about you
For 29 years before I saw you
