VERSE 1
Dm Am
When the body sleeps
C
The mind's awake
Am
Playing games
Dm
In outer space
Am
Like a different world
C
With another face
G
Stuck in time
Dm
In a high-speed chase
Am
Upside down
C
The roads we take
Am
Silly scenes
Dm
Implausible days
Am
A different world
C
With another face
G
Stuck in time
the impossible
CHORUS 1
C
Strange dreams,
Em
Not what they seem
F
Moon beams to our Mind's
G
TV screen
C
Strange dreams
Em
You can not explain
F
Cuz when you wake up
G
It prob'ly fades away
VERSE 2
It's us we tease
And time we take
While slowing down
The interstate
Like a time tape folds
An instant pace
Recorded thoughts
Without a trace
Inside out
The path is made
Seems so real
The stream we wade
Where's this world
That's stuck in space?
I can see
the impossible
CHORUS 2
C
Strange dreams,
Em
Not what they seem
F
Moon beams to our Mind's
G
TV screen
C
Strange dreams
Em
You can not explain
F
Cuz when you wake up
G
It prob'ly fades away
BRIDGE
F C
Can't explain
Am
What is insane
G
But seems just right
On the other side
Dm C
I know I'm me
Am
But a dream's eye sees
G
what's real in life
in a different way
CHORUS 3
C
Strange dreams,
Em
Not what they seem
F
Moon beams to our Mind's
G
TV screen
C
Strange dreams
Em
You can not explain
F
Cuz when you wake up
G
It prob'ly fades away
CHORUS 4
C
Strange dreams,
Em
Not what they seem
F
Moon beams to our Mind's
G
TV screen
C
Strange dreams
Em
You can not explain
F
Cuz when you wake up
G
It prob'ly fades away
