N.C. (horns)
D Bm (x3)
[Verse 1]
D Bm
In echoed steps I walked across an empty dream,
D C Bm
I looked across this world, there's no-one to be seen.
D Bm
This empty feeling turned and quietly walked away,
D G9
I saw no warmth in life - no love was in my eyes.
[Verse 2]
D Bm
I stared a century thinking this will never change,
D C Bm
As I hesitated time rushed onwards without me.
D Bm
Too scared to break the spell, too small to take a fall,
D G9 A9
But the Absolute luck is - love is in our hearts!
[Chorus]
B B/A# G#m F#
I lost some hours thinking of it
B B/A# G#m F#
I need the strength to go and get what I want
B B/A# G#m F#
I lost a lifetime thinking of it
B B/A# G#m A F#
An' lost an era daydreaming like do.
D Bm (x3) C A
(horn solo)
[Verse 3]
D Bm
I stared a century thinking this will never change,
D C Bm
As I hesitated time rushed onwards out without me.
D Bm
Too scared to break the spell to small to take a fall,
D G9
But the Absolute luck is - love is in our hearts!
G9
Hah!
[Verse 4]
D Bm
In echoed steps you walk across an empty dream
D C Bm
But look arond this world, there's millions to be seen.
D Bm
Come see the tyrants panic see their crumbling empires fall
D G9 A9
Then tell 'em we don't fight for fools - 'cos love is our hearts!
[Chorus]
B B/A# G#m F#
I lost some hours thinking of it
B B/A# G#m F#
I need the strength to go and get what I want
B B/A# G#m F#
I lost a lifetime thinking of it
B B/A# G#m F#
And lose an era daydreaming like I do
B B/A# G#m F#
You can lose some hours thinking of it
B B/A# G#m F#
You need the strength to go and get what you want

You can lose a lifetime thinking of it
B B/A# G#m A
And lose an era daydreaming like I do
