I had some time this morning so i wrote this one in memory of a friend of mine......

I once asked you

Reg

G C(9) G C(9) D/Fsharp Em7 D/Fsharp Em7 Am C D Dsus

I once asked you what you wanted
And you told me you wanted to dream again
I once asked you what you wanted
and you told me you wanted to try to escape everything
you told me that it had got too crazy
That you felt you were just part of a wheel
that it wouldn't stop turning
that it was making life a little too real
that you wanted to steal the future, and find that dream and make it reaL

you said all you needed back was you and you would have everything
yeah! you said All you needed back and you would have everything
you said if you could only could sleep
you could turn back time
if only you could close your eyes
you could turn the black to white
that you could steal the future, and find that dream and make it reaL yeah

just make it real

Break

that you could steal the future, and find that dream and make it reaL yeah

but you couldn't let go of that monkey
So you found yourself climbing back up that same old tree
you stepped right out onto the branch and you fell right into eternity
you craved that darkness where dreams come unglued
You craved that darkness hiding you from you
and that monkey stole your future and you never did find that dream

I once asked you what you wanted
And you told me you wanted to dream again
I once asked you what you wanted
and you told me you wanted to try to escape everything
you told me that it had got too crazy
That you felt you were part of a wheel
that it wouldn't stop turning
making life a little too real
and that all you wanted to steal was the future and find that dream and make it reaL

you said all you needed was you and you, you would have everything
you said All you needed was you back and you said you told me you would have everything
But you craved that darkness where dreams come unglued
You craved that darkness hiding you from you
you stole the future but you never did find that dream no, no, no

you never did find that dream
no, no, no
you never did find that dream
no, no, no
you never did find that dream
no, no, no
you never did find that dream

Great stuff, Trev! Top class vocal, as always!

Super stuff trev, those lyrics are really powerful. A great tribute to a friend. Love the set up - just guitar and vocals... doesn't need any more. Class.
