Poets of the fall - Illusion and dream
Intro: G#m C#m B F# * 2
Verse 1
G#m C#m B F#
Look in my eyes I'll make you see we're drifting aimlessly
G#m C#m B F#
Blind in a world of make believe
Instrumental: G#m C#m B F#
Verse 2:
Hear them sing their songs off key and nod like they agree
Buying the needs to be discreet
Bridge:
C#m B A C#m
I've got no hand in matters worldly, I hardly care at all
B A C#m
What's going on fails to concern me 'cause I'm locked behind my wall
G#m
But you know what drives me out
F#
Out of my mind ooh
Chorus:
E F# E
It's whatever makes you see, makes you believe
F# E
And forget about the premonition you need to conceive
F# E
The images they sell are Illusion and Dream
F#
In other words dishonesty
Instrumental * 2
Verse 3:
If I speak ill please, humour me. Won't rant on endlessly
Just thought I'd try to make you see
Bridge:
It doesn't solve a thing to dress it in a pretty gown
A stone will not need you to guess if you're still going to drown
So you know what drives me out
Out of my mind, oh
Chorus
Instrumental
Middle eight:
G#m C#m
So can you name your demon? Understand it's scheming
B F#
I raise my glass and say "Here's to you"
G#m C#m
Can you chase your demon? Or will it take your freedom?
B F#
I raise my glass and say "Here's to you"
Bridge (lyrics from the first one)
Chorus * 2
Outro: E F# repeats and fades
