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

Waking up from a dream

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

Waking up from a dream
