Reverie

G                  D/F#         Em            C
the streetlights are diamonds, the sidewalk a bed
G                  D/F#         Em            C
of boot heels and garbage and cigarettes
D              G          C
and only the hopeless and lonesome are left
Am          G/B            D
to pin up the night and go home

[Verse]
G                  D/F#         Em            C
and i don’t believe that a fortune is told
G                  D/F#         Em            C
by the turning of cards, by the swinging of stones
D              G          C
but still i’m here hoping for what i can’t hold
Am          G/B            D
for some kind of sign from above

[Chorus]
G              Em             C             D
so turn out the lights, let the diamonds be damned
G              Em             C             D
a reverie is sweeter in the dark
Em              C             D
and i don’t got nothing but two empty hands
G/B                  C            D
and this slow burning flame of a heart
G/B                  C            D
and this slow burning flame of a heart

[Verse]
G                  D/F#         Em            C
and midnight comes rolling all bottles and bags
G         D/F#         Em            C
they come to rest soft in the park
D              G          C
and a beautiful woman, her voice made of glass
Am          G/B            D
stirs in a dream in the dark

[Verse]
G                  D/F#         Em            C
and i don’t believe that the future is told
G         D/F#         Em            C
by the weight of a word, but by the way it’s spoke
D              G          C
and still i’m here holding your name in my throat
Am          G/B            D
and isn’t it sweet on my tongue

[Chorus]
G              Em             C             D
so turn out the lights, let the diamonds be damned
G              Em             C             D
a reverie is sweeter in the dark
Em              C             D
and i don’t got nothing but two empty hands
G/B                  C            D
and this slow burning flame of a heart
G/B                  C            D
and this slow burning flame of a heart

[Brige]
Em                   C
and the dawn glows, and it spreads like a spill
Em              C                 Am            D
in the shadows, someone whispers it will be alright

[Verse]
G                  D/F#         Em            C
the streetlights are faded, the sidewalk a song
G         D/F#         Em            C
of footsteps, and papers, and telephones
D              G          C
and darling it’s raining, come take me back home
Am          G/B            D
it seems that i’ve seen quite enough

[Verse]
G                  D/F#         Em            C
and i don’t know which way i’m bound to believe
G         D/F#         Em            C
the story itself, or the space between
D              G          C
but still i’m here wiping my eyes on my sleeve
Am          G/B            D
at the beautiful world waking up
