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

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

Waking up from a dream, a dream…
