That's a pretty wild song !   Reminds me a bit of Axel Rose

Thanks

and yup. I keep coming back to it and tweeking it...  I love getting feed back from the true musicians on Chordie   - it is so helpful.
I do really like this song .... one the faves that I've written.
Thanks for your comments guys !

One last comment ---- anybody heard from Strummerboy Bill ? I knew he was experiencing some troubles and moving to a new apt. I haven't seen any recent post by him. 
I truly hope all is improving for him and his beloved Dondra.

Beamer,
I actually just watched that last week...    you are correct Beamer - it was excellent and Joe Walsh is very very cool
He has overcome a lot in his life ---  lots of ups and downs - but he is as you say ---- " COOL !"
Thanks for sharing that

That looks like a very cool product -wish I played well enough to actually know what it does, how to use it, or why I even would need one.

You guys are way out of my league -   I am so  envious - it looks like it must be so much fun.

Thanks for checking it out.  I always look for constructive feed back as my musical background is extremely limited.

Having your son ( I assume)  give you flowers so innocently and unconditionally sincere made it fantastic!

This is the link to the song lyrics and chords on Chordie in the chopro format

I find it easier to play from there and you can change chords if you want  to.

Phill

Ironically I had just changed the one line from smell to sweet breath

and I struggled with the other line you caught.

Thanks my friend -  do you think the chords are ok 
It sounds ok to me when I play it - but then again it is me playing so who the heck knows.  smile

Thanks Phill   your advice is always welcomed !!

Well... I had this line in my head for weeks now and finally sat down early this morning and worked on it.

I'm not too sure it's in it's finished version yet, but I thought I'd through it out there for my Chordie friends to review.
Let me know what you think.  Thanks for giving it a look over.

[song]

{t: Where Dreams And Reality Collide}

[Am]With the stars sparkling in her [F]eyes,
And her [C]laughter like hues of an evening[G] sky
[Am] the wind gently blowing through her[F] hair
[C]and her sweet breath  in the midnight [G]air

[Am]She used to be only in my [F]dreams
A free[C] spirit ,chasing cryptic [G]schemes
[Am]beautifully awkward, out of [F]place
she was [C]gorgeous chaos,  full of[G] grace



Chorus
but now she's [C]   right here in front of me
Oh, I'd[Em] love to reach out and hold her hand
But I [Am]don't know if I can take that chance 
see I [F]don't want to get [C]hurt  a[G]gain

[C] she's everything  I ever wanted
Oh my [Em]heart  feels  it deep inside
Maybe [Am] one day I'll find the place
where [F] dreams and re[G]ality col[C]lide



[Am]It's so hard to move on with my  [F]life
With a  [C]heart , riddled with sad good[G]byes
[Am]hoping  courage , will soon come  my [F]way
and let me [C]fall in love again ,  some[G]day

Ending Chorus
and now she's  [C]  right here in front of me
Oh, I'd[Em] love to reach out and hold her hand
But I [Am]don't know if I can take that chance 
see I [F]don't want to get [C]hurt  a[G]gain

[C]she's everything  I could ever want
My [Em]heart  feels  it deep inside
[Am]is  this is the day I'll find the place
where [F] dreams and re[G]ality col[C]lide


where [F] dreams and re[G]ality col[C]lide

where [F] dreams and re[G]ality col[C]lide

That certainly did not need an overdrive pedal - it was outstanding!
Great cover - and as Peatle said - Holy cow is the bar set high !!
Very, very cool

Awful news - But the news out of Las Vegas is more tragic. 59 dead and over 400 wounded. 

This world has some crazy damn people in it

May God bless Tom, his family and all the victims of Las Vegas
