Intro:F#m   A D E C Bb A D   A G A G

   A                     C#m7
I made my dreams then lost them
      F#m               D
They left and I went away
A                     C#m
There's no romance in the memory
        F#m              D
That's part of yesterday
     E                  E/D   
But feelings linger stronger sometimes
    F#m           D
So hard to disappear
E                        E/D 
When what holds you is a treasure
       F#m                          D      F
You've stored throughout the years

          G                    F     G  A  
Finding out the hard way again
               C#m7
The captive heart has lost
     F#m               D        E7 A
and won a thousand lovers
                  C#m7
The place each moment close
     F#m             D   E7 A 
to living in each other
            C#m7
Reaching out for treasures
F#m7                   D    E7 A
Scattered in their dreams
        C#m7               F#m            D      C  D C A G A G A G
Trying takes a life of loving so it seems


So carry on, donīt stop your feelings
Try and make them flow
Somewhere thereīs a vision waiting
Youīll find it when you know
Taking the final curtain thatīs coming down on you
Leaving the play of fools, move onto life you knew
Finding out the hard way again

No easy path to conquer, trying to compromise
Climbing through my anguish, I see your fading eyes

The captive heart has lost and won a thousand lovers
The place each moment close to living in each other
Reaching out for treasures scattered in their dreams
Loving takes a life of trying so it seems
