Intro:

                   
The lines are broken between she and I

                                        
But the road is as straight as an arrow

                                  
We had walked in a beautiful forest

                      
But after a while the trees grew thin

                  
And offered little shade

                                                       
Now more than ever our lives move of their own volition




Verse: The F alternates with F/A and the Dm alternates with Dsus2


I sleep walk in the night


I don't wanna, I don't wanna


I let the day decide


I'm searching for, I'm searching for


I swim against the tide


I only wanna,  I only wanna


Get to the other side


You can always find me

               
Waitin for the right time
              
                        
But I can't wait till the end




Chorus:

                 
You moved out of reach

                   
Slipped out of my hands


                 
I live in my dreams

                            
I have of you still holding me
