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

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

Waking up to begin
