Verse 1
Bsus4 
B 
An       other time, another day,
Bm 
D 
an  other baby on the way
E 
The dream boy for your nightmare nights
B 
Abm 
He never shouts and never fights
B 
Happy with your 2 .2
Bm 
D 
What else is there for you to do?
E 
But turn and wet the baby's
Abm 
head and pray
We'll be happier than you or me
G 
That's how it's meant to be
D 
It's called a  lifetime
G 
At first you never notice
D 
E 
Then the years go flying by
G 
Em 
G 
And I say tread lightly
B 
in your dreams
E 
G 
They might come true
A 
B 
for you tomorrow
Say sorry to the boys and girls
D 
You're sorry for this bloody world
E 
Sorry for the sick and old
Abm 
I'm sorry for the lies you told
B 
I'm sorry for the things I did
Bm 
D 
The things we should have left unsaid
E 
And walked away and left instead
Abm 
Of rubbing salt in all those open soles
And wounds we should have left to heal
G 
D 
I never knew just what to feel or to expect
G 
I tried to stretch my mind
E 
But I'd just get my body wrecked
G 
Em 
G 
B 
And now I tread lightly in my dreams
E 
D 
G 
A 
They might come true tomorrow
B 
G 
Em 
G 
Bm 
B 
And I don't sleep at night
E 
G 
In case I don't wake up tomorrow
C# 
I face the day I met you
But I won't forget you
B 
D 
E 
Abm 
Not in my lifetime
B 
Bm 
Another time, another day
D 
You'd never give your heart away
Em 
D 
E 
You'd never think and never cry
Abm 
You'd look  the devil in the eye
B 
G 
And tell him to be gone, bye bye
D 
He'll never get you in this lifetime
G 
He'd love to touch you,
D 
E 
but his hands are tied
G 
B 
Bm 
So just tread lightly in your dreams
E 
D

They might come true for
A 
B

you tomorrow
B

Tread lightly in your dreams

They might come true
A

for you tomorrow
E

G 
They might come true
A 
B 
for you tomorrow
E

Then I come true tomorrow
B

To feel alive
B 
Bm 
inside my dreams
Em 
D 
G 
A 
And I come true tomorrow
B 
B 
Tonight, tonight, tonight...
