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

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