[section 4]
Consider[Am] this consider this [Em]hint of the century
Consider [Am]this the slip that [Em]brought me to my knees pale
[Am]What if all these fantasies come [Em]flaming aground
Now I’ve [Dm]said too [G]much

[chorus]
I thought that I heard you [F]laughing
I thought that I [G]heard you [Am]sing
I [F]think I thought I [Dm]saw [G]you [Am]try [G]

[Closing]
[F]That was just a dream, [G]just a [Am]dream, just a [G]dream
[F]That was just a dream, [G]just a [Am]dream, just a [G]dream
