[Verse 1]
G Em Bm Bm
Lorie was a girl who built up all her world out of nothing
G Em Bm Bm
She's got a bright mind and a smile but something in her eyes is fading
G Em Bm Bm
She thought she could escape from the things in life she was afraid of
G Em Bm Bm
She'd rather take a run than to take a quiet walk in the sun
[Chorus 1]
Em C
Waking up from a dream
G Bm
That wasn't quite what it seemed
Em C
Waking up to begin
G D D
A life out' this sunken dream
[Verse 2]
G Em Bm Bm
She always tried to find a reason to deny the real thing
G Em Bm Bm
Cause something in her mind has been locked from behind for ages
G Em Bm Bm
She built a castle in the sky but a dreadful hollow sound became so loud
G Em Bm Bm
That she couldn't hear a word from the friends who came around to save her
[Chorus 2]
Em C
Waking up from a dream
G Bm
That wasn't quite what it seemed
Em C
Waking up to begin
G D
A life out of this sunken dream

[Verse 3]
G Em Bm Bm
She suddenly realized she'd been holding her breath for too long (soft drums)
G Em Bm Bm
And now she is emerging from a dive within the depths of a dark sea (soft drums)
G Em Bm Bm
She's coming into sight, yearning for part of a good time
G Em Bm Bm
Desire is the sign that made her leave illusions behind…
[Chorus 3]
Em C
Waking up from a dream
G Bm
That wasn't quite what it seemed

G D
A life out of this sunken dream

Waking up ……
