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

D life out of this sunken dream
Dm F
Waking up from a dream

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