| Em | B | Em |
| (verse one) |
| Em | B | |
| Citizens of a starless | sky |
| Em | |
| have stolen the sun and held it for | ransom, |
| Em | B | |
| an endless greed unsati | sfied |
| Em | |
| Can see the blood on their hands does more than just | feed them, |
| G | A | Em | |
| it's there for a | reason |
| G | A | |
| because for all we know |
| (chorus) |
| C | G | G/F# | C | G | G/F# | C | |
| All this is | just | a | dream, things are not | exactly | as they | seem, |
| G | G/F# | Em | |
| save time to | sit back and | have a | drink |
| C | G | G/F# | C | |
| Another man | might just be | lieve what he's | told, |
| G | G/F# | C | |
| But I'm on my | way to being | bought and | sold, |
| G | G/F# | Em | B | |
| can't wait to | measure my | blood out in | gold and platinum | sales, |
| (verse two) |
| Em | B | |
| so drink the wine,boy drink it | down |
| Em | |
| The past is far gone replaced by this | moment, |
| Em | B | Em | |
| we're shadows of our | selves confined to shelves with nothing | left to say |
| G | A | Em | |
| Content to fade away |
| G | A | |
| ' | cause for all we know, |
| C | G | G/F# | C | G | G/F# | C | |
| All this is | just | a | dream, things are not | exactly | as they | seem, |
| G | G/F# | Em | |
| save time to | sit back and | have a | drink |
| C | G | G/F# | C | G | G/F# | C | |
| forgetting is | easy with | out any | soul with each empty | promise it | keeps getting | old |
| C | G | G/F# | Em | B | |
| Learning to | measure my | blood out in | gold and platinum | sales, |
| C | B | C | B | |
| or have I just | failed, | lost sight of the | trail |
| If all this is just a dream things might not be quite as bad as they seem, |
| I'd probably sit back and have a drink |
| Another man might just believe what he's told, |
| but I'm on my way to being bought and sold |
| Can see them setting their sales for the gold and platinum skies |
