Am Em Am Em Am Em Dm G

    Am            
Oh, life is bigger
Em                              Am     
It's bigger than you and you are not me
                         Em                        Am  
The lengths that I will go to the distance in your eyes
Em                    Dm             G
Oh no, I've said too much, I set it up

                 Am                       Em       
That's me in the corner, that's me in the spotlight
          Am      
Losing my religion
          Em                     Am                       
Trying to keep up with you and I don't know if I can do it
Em                   Dm                   G     
Oh no, I've said too much, I haven't said enough

                           F       
I thought that I heard you laughing
  Dm             G         Am  
I thought that I heard you sing
  F                 Dm  G    Am
I think I thought I saw you try

      Am                      Em                   Am         
Every whisper of every waking hour I'm choosing my confessions
          Em                
Trying to keep an eye on you
       Am                               
Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool
Em                   Dm             G 
Oh no, I've said too much, I set it up

         Am                  Em                      
Consider this, consider this, the hint of the century
         Am                 Em                            
Consider this the slip that brought me to my knees, failed
Am                          Em                   
What if all these fantasies come flailing around?
         Dm       G   
Now I've said too much

                           F       
I thought that I heard you laughing
  Dm             G         Am  
I thought that I heard you sing
  F                 Dm  G    Am
I think I thought I saw you try

    C               Dm   
But that was just a dream
C               Dm   
That was just a dream

                 Am                       Em       
That's me in the corner, that's me in the spotlight
          Am      
Losing my religion
          Em                     Am                       
Trying to keep up with you and I don't know if I can do it
Em                   Dm                   G     
Oh no, I've said too much, I haven't said enough

                           F       
I thought that I heard you laughing
  Dm             G         Am  
I thought that I heard you sing
  F                 Dm  G    Am
I think I thought I saw you try

F                   Dm   G
But that was just a dream
Am                
Try, cry, why try?
Dm              Dm     G      Am            G    
That was just a dream, just a dream, just a dream

    Am            
Oh, life is bigger
     Em                          Am    
It's bigger than you and you are not me
                        Em   
The lengths that I will go to
