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

Well, love was just a dream

You know I never got no sleep
