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

[Verse 3]
F# D#m A#m A#m
She suddenly realized she'd been holding her breath for too long (soft drums)
F# D#m A#m A#m
And now she is emerging from a dive within the depths of a dark sea (soft drums)
F# D#m A#m A#m
She's coming into sight, yearning for part of a good time
F# D#m A#m A#m
Desire is the sign that made her leave illusions behind…
[Chorus 3]
D#m B
Waking up from a dream
F# A#m

Waking up from a dream, a dream…
