[intro x4]:
D
C  G

   D
I picture us together
  C             G
Framed in gold leaf
        D
On the mantle with the others
         C         G
One big happy family
           Bm
But that snapshot can't be found
              C           G
And I don't trust my memory
            C             G
But it's alright, it's alright
        D
For a dream 

    D
I imagine we are gathered
          C                    G
But this time not dressed in black
         D
There's laughing and smiling
      C              G
Not stabbing in the back
          Bm
But it's too good to be true
         C                        G
And too bad I still recall the screams
            C             G
But it's alright, it's alright
        D
For a dream 

D
I keep half the picture
 C            G
Mostly in my mind
 D
Mama dressed in white
         C                 G
Ripped when she held your hand
    Bm
Showing no signs of age
                C               G
Just slightly frayed along the seam
            C             G
But it's alright, it's alright
        D
For a dream 

        Bm
It's alright
G
All that I can claim
        D
It's alright
    A
And it will have to do
        Bm
It's alright
 G
Better than the pain
        D
It's alright
 A
Better than the truth
        Bm
It's alright
G
Alright for a dream
        D
It's alright
 A
Better than fate and the great scheme
        Em
It's alright
        G
It's alright 

       D
For Christmas and for New Year
   C            G
I wish and I resolve
         D
But I'm disappointed by myself
   C              G
Jesus and Santa Claus
   Bm
I want to believe
            C                     G
She's been saved and he's been redeemed
            C             G
And it's alright, it's alright
        D
For a dream

Am          C
I used to think
  G               F
About what's real and true
  Am              C
What can not be proven
  G            F
What can be assumed
Am               C
Once when I was younger
G                F
In the bloom of youth
     Am              C
I received an honest answer
  G               F
When a lie would do 

        F
And now all I do is sit
G
In my darkened room
          Am
And on occasions break my silence
    C
To howl at the moon
    F
To curse every nerve
   G
A neuron in my brain
             Am
That won't stop the pain I'm feeling
     G
And let me stop thinking 

[intro]x2:
Am  C    G  F

Am          C
I used to think
     G           F
Galileo would agree
  Am                C
That the world was round
     G                   F
And you'd come round to me
    Am                 C
But I have looked for you
     G                 F
And you're nowhere in sight
     Am             C
The world must be flat
         G            F
The Babylonians were right 

        F
And now all I do is sit
G
In my darkened room
          Am
And on occasions break my silence
    C
To howl at the moon,
    F
To curse every nerve,
   G
A neuron in my brain
             Am
That won't stop the pain I'm feeling
     F
And let me stop thinking 

[intro]x2:
Am  C    G  F

Am          C
I used to think
    G          F
Consider gravity
       Am             C
If I placed you on a pedestal
        G                F
You'd slip and fall for me
          Am           C
But you floated on the air
      G             F
Far away at light speed
             Am            C
I guess some objects do defy
     G               F
The laws that we conceive 

        F
And now all I do is sit
G
In my darkened room
          Am
And on occasions break my silence
    C
To howl at the moon,
    F
To curse every nerve,

A neuron in my brain

That won't stop the pain I'm feeling

Stop thinking of you
                  Am  C    G  F
Stop thinking of you
                  Am  C    G  F
Stop thinking of you 

[intro]x4:
Am  C    G  F

Am          C
I used to think
G               F
It took all my time
Am         C
Analysing you
 G               F
Your mind on my mind
 Am            C
Your name, my mantra
   G            F
Repeated on my lips
     Am             C
That once tried to kiss you
   G           F
A memory unrepressed 

        F
And now all I do is sit
G
In my darkened room
          Am
And on occasions break my silence
    C
To howl at the moon,
    F
To curse every nerve,

A neuron in my brain

That won't stop the pain I'm feeling

It’s just a theory
           D(5)                   G    F#m  E
There’s a possibility that I am wrong
              A(5)
It’s just a theory
    D(5)
But I would stake my life
 G      F#m   E
Lay my money down
      A
That you were meant for me
     D              G
And for you I’m the one 

              A(5)
It’s just a theory
      D(5)             G F#m E
A particular set of assu-umptions
              A(5)
It’s just a theory
   D(5)
An educated guess
       G      F#m    E
A conclusion not forgone
      A
That you were meant for me
     D              G
And for you I’m the one 

    C
Oh nothing’s new under the sun
G
I will postulate
D
Ask for your consideration
     C
Ask you out on a date 

    C
Although it can’t be sure
     G
Why not act on a hunch
     D
Oh why not search for proof
     C
Why not go out for lunch 

         A(5)
And in theory
D(5)
I could propose
         G     F#m         E
And in theory you could affirm
         C
Oh that you were meant for me

It’s just a theory

A series of tests should be run
              A(5)
It’s just a theory
          D(5)
Although not fully assessed
     G         F#m      E
An idea whose time has come
      A

          B
From the water
          A            E
From the rock and the dirt, you were
     A     B        E
The first person on earth 

        B
Oh the mountains
        A                      E
And the oceans witnessed your birth
     A     B        E
The first person on earth 

      B
By a river, on the banks of a sandy shore
   A                E
Untouched, clean, fresh and pure
     A     B        E
The first person on earth 

        B
In the light of the sun you emerged
            A                            E
To see the good in the world before the pain and the scourge
     A     B        E
The first person on earth 

         B
In the quiet, in the calm, before the storm
                A                          E
You heard the dream for a love that never dies in a poem
     A     B        E
The first person on earth 

            B
And I'm in love with you, I'm in love with a dream
      A                    E
That can not be realized, held or seen
        A    B        E
By the last person on earth 

          B
After the earthquakes, the hurricanes, the fires and floods
     A              E
I'm jaded, cynical, angry and glum
     B
The world's too absurd and obscene for true love
A                       E
And more than happy to let me become
     A     B        E
The last person on earth 

            B
To let me stand on a rock, the muddy waters surround
  A                   E
Abandoned, alone, the end soon to come
        A    B        E
As the last person on earth 

        B
As the waters rise at the end of the world
           A                      E
Thought I bear the weight of the rock and the dirt
    B
I know I'm worthy of your love
        A             E
As the last person on earth 

        B
As the waters rise at the end of the world
           A                      E
Thought I bear the weight of the rock and the dirt
    B
I know I'm worthy of your love
        A             E
As the last person on earth

         Cm
To greet every new day that may come
 A#       B#         Cm
Like the first of spring 

[intro]Cm
It is cold, it is cold
      A#      B# Cm
I've had the feeling
Cm
At the heart and in the core
     A#      B#    Cm
The roots of all things
      Cm
But there's a bud, there's a bulb
    A#       B# Cm
It will be glooming
         Cm
To greet every new day that may come
 A#       B#         Cm
Like the first of spring 

Cm

   A# B# Cm
Spring

   A# B# Cm
Spring

Cm
It is late, it is late
   A#       B# Cm
As I watch waiting
Cm
It will go, come turn away
     A#    B# Cm
The cycle cycling
  Cm
There's a face with new eyes
   A#    B# Cm
A baby crying
             Cm
Who'll greet every new day that may come
 A#       B#         Cm
Like the first of spring

Cm

 A#       B#         Cm
Like the first of spring  

Cm

 A#       B#         Cm
Like the first of spring  

Cm

 A#       B#         Cm
Like the first of spring
