^GThrough the corridors of^D sleep Past the^C shadows dark an^Gd deep

^DMy mind dances and leaps^C in confusio^Gn. ^C ^G ^GI dont know what is real^D,

I can't ^Ctouch what I fee^Gl And I hi^Dde behind the sh^Cield of my illus^Gion.

CHORUS:

^DSo I'll ^Ccontinue to cont^Ginue to ^G/F#pre- ^Emtend My ^Amlife will never e^Emnd,

And ^Aflowers never ^Cbend Opening Riff With the rainfall.

VERSE 2

^GThe mirror on my^D wall Casts an^C image dark and ^Gsmall

^DBut Im not sure at^C all its my reflec^Gtion. ^C ^G ^GI am blinded by ^Dthe light

O^Cf God and truth and ri^Gght And I wa^Dnder in th^Ce night without direct^Gion. ^C ^G

CHORUS

^DSo I'll ^Ccontinue to cont^Ginue to ^G/F#pre- ^Emtend My ^Amlife will never e^Emnd,

And ^Aflowers never ^Cbend Opening Riff With the rainfall.

VERSE 3:

Its n^Go matter if youre b^Dorn To play ^Cthe king or pawn^G

For th^De line is ^Cthinly drawn tween joy a^Gnd sorrow,^C ^G ^GSo my fa^Dntasy

B^Cecomes real^Gity And I mu^Dst be what I mus^Ct be and face to^Gmorrow. ^C ^G

CHORUS

^DSo I'll ^Ccontinue to cont^Ginue to ^G/F#pre- ^Emtend My ^Amlife will never e^Emnd,

And ^Aflowers never ^Cbend Opening Riff With the rainfall.
