Verse 1
Am C
I had a dream about a burning house
G F
You were stuck inside, I couldn’t get you out
Am C
I laid beside you and pulled you close
G F
And the two of us went up in smoke
Chorus
Am C
Love isn’t all that it seems, I did you wrong
G F
I’ll stay here with you until this dream is gone
Am C
I’ve been sleepwalking, been wandering all night
G F
Trying to take what’s lost and broke and make it right
Am C
I’ve been sleepwalking too close to the fire
G F
But it’s the only place that I can hold you tight
Am C GF
In this burning house
Verse 2
Am C
I see you at a party and you look the same
G F
I could take you back but people don’t ever change
Am C
I wish that I could wake up with amnesia
G F
And forget about the stupid little things
