Verse
C
Well, I walked along and I felt like pretending
C
The earth stopped moving and nothing was ending
Am
I saw the beggar boys in different places
Am
They wore dirty rags and filthy faces
C
I told them 'hello' and they came and they followed
C
I gave them my bread and they chewed and the swallowed
Am
And they picked me up and took my hand
Am
And I never felt like a better man
[Chorus]
G
Well, love was just a dream
F C
You know I never got no sleep
G F C
Walking hand in hand with the beggar boys down the street
[Verse 2]
C
Well, we talked all night and I felt very tired
C
So I laid down and I looked at the fire
Am
And I thought about nothing at all
Am
And then in the morning I was up at dawn
C
We talked to the people who wanted to hide us
C
Nothing they said then could ever divide us
Am
And I pulled out everything I know
Am
And I never ever went back home
[Chorus]

Well, love was just a dream

You know I never got no sleep
