[Intro]
N.C. (horns)
D Bm (x3)

[Verse 1]
D                         Bm
In echoed steps I walked across an empty dream,
D                                   C            Bm
I looked across this world, there's no-one to be seen.
D                             Bm
This empty feeling turned and quietly walked away,
D                            G9
I saw no warmth in life - no love was in my eyes.

[Verse 2]
D                           Bm
I stared a century thinking this will never change,
D                          C               Bm
As I hesitated time rushed onwards without me.
D                                  Bm
Too scared to break the spell, too small to take a fall,
D                          G9                             A9
But the Absolute luck is - love is in our hearts!

[Chorus]
B           B/A#           G#m      F#
I lost some hours thinking of it
B          B/A#               G#m        F#
I need the strength to go and get what I want
B        B/A#              G#m       F#
I lost a lifetime thinking of it
B           B/A#       G#m       A    F#
An' lost an era daydreaming like do.

D Bm (x3) C A
(horn solo)

[Verse 3]
D                           Bm
I stared a century thinking this will never change,
D                          C                   Bm
As I hesitated time rushed onwards out without me.
D                                Bm
Too scared to break the spell to small to take a fall,
D                          G9
But the Absolute luck is - love is in our hearts!

G9
Hah!

[Verse 4]
D                        Bm
In echoed steps you walk across an empty dream
D                                  C              Bm
But look arond this world, there's millions to be seen.
D                                    Bm
Come see the tyrants panic see their crumbling empires fall
D                                             G9                     A9
Then tell 'em we don't fight for fools - 'cos love is our hearts!

[Chorus]
B           B/A#           G#m    F#
I lost some hours thinking of it
B          B/A#               G#m              F#
I need the strength to go and get what I want
B        B/A#              G#m    F#
I lost a lifetime thinking of it
B           B/A#       G#m         F#
And lose an era daydreaming like I do

B                 B/A#           G#m     F#
You can lose some hours thinking of it
B            B/A#               G#m          F#
You need the strength to go and get what you want
B              B/A#              G#m      F#
You can lose a lifetime thinking of it
B           B/A#       G#m         A
And lose an era daydreaming like I do
