For all you piano players...it's in the key of G major...Blast away!
(I don't do pianos... very well) Maybe someone who does can add to this

You were never one for waiting, Still I always thought you'd wait for me.
And have you from your dreams awaken, and from where you are what do you see?

Which of us is now in exile, which in need of amnesty?
Are you now but an illusion, in my mind alone you breath.

You believed in things that I would ne-ver know.

You were out there drowning and it ne-ver showed

'Till inside a rain swept night you just let go.
You've thrown it all away, and now we'll never see.
C
the ending to the play. The grand design, the final line,
and what was meant to be.
In the dark a distant runner, now has dissapeared into the night.
leaving us to stand and wonder staring from this end into your life.

Tomorrow and after, you tell me what am I to do.
G F#/D Em C D G
I stand here, believing, that in the dark there is a clue.
G F#/D Em C D G
Perhaps inside this midnight sky, perhaps tommorrow's newborn eyes.
G F#/D Em C D G
Or could it be, we'll never know, and after all this was the show.

G F#/D Em
Standing on a dream, isn't what it seems,
C D G
could we then proclaim a dream reduce?
G F#/D Em
Knowing what we know, could we let it go?
C D G
Realizing that all our dreams are used.

Tomorrow and after, you tell me what am I to do.

I stand here, believing, that in the dark there is a clue.
G F#/D Em C D G
I am the way, I am the light, I am the dark inside the night.
G F#/D Em C D G
I hear your hopes, I feel your dreams, and in the dark I hear your screams
