Tom: Am

                  F
Goodbye sweet dreams
G                   Am
Goodbye sweet dreams
                  F
Goodbye sweet dreams
G                   Am
Goodbye sweet dreams

[Verse 1]
                  F
I once had a heart
G              Am
Could not be told
                  F
But now these dreams
G              Am
Have grown so cold

[Repeat chorus]

[Instrumental section]
F  G  Am  Am  (x2)

[Verse 2]
               F
Once I had a love
G                  Am
And you never returned
                 F
Don't leave me now
G                           Am
My love does not too bright burn
               F
The love inside
G                  Am
Burns not too bright
              F
'Tis only cold
G                   Am
Love to get started right

[Repeat chorus]

[Instrumental section]
F  G  Am  Am  (x4)

[Verse 3]
              F
Relax I'm told
G               Am
On the dotted lines
                                   F
At the pentagram the clock strikes twelves
G                   Am
Me for you, you for I
                   F
Love has been said
G                     Am
It should come and go
                     F
Goodbye sweet dreams
G                         Am
If you believe them, then go
