Illusion And Dream

Poets Of The Fall


Tom: G#m

G#m  C#m  B   F#
G#m  C#m  B   F#

[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]
(same as verse 1)

   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]
G#m  C#m  B   F#

[Verse 3]
(same as verse 1)

   If I speak ill please, humour me. Won't rant on endlessly 
   Just thought I'd try to make you see 

[Bridge]
(same as above)

   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]
   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]
G#m  C#m  B   F#

[Middle 8]
      
    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]
   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 

[Outro]
