Shattered Dreams
words and music by Tim Foley
(E) Don’t look (B) now --
could it (F#m7) be your past that’s
(Amdim) catching up with you?
(E) Any (B) how --
too (F#m7) good to last,
(Amdim) time for something
(F#m7) new.
(overlap last line of verse)
(F#m7) You made your (B) bed,
are you (E) finding it hard to (A) sleep in (A/G#) it
(overlap last line)
(F#m7) Sometimes you (B) dread,
every (E) goodnight kiss that’s (A) flavored with (A/G#) regret
(overlap last line)
(F#m7) the life you (B) led,
once (E) fresh and new has (A) now turned (A/G#) into
(F#m7) shattered dreams and (B) bitter epithets.
Time goes by --
through each passing day and every endless hour
You can’t cry --
over what once was sweet but now has turned so sour
its your bed,
are you finding it hard to sleep in it
things were said,
do they bother you maybe just a little bit
in your head,
things seem fine but face up to those
shattered dreams and bitter epithets.
