G                    D              EM          BM                        C
Soldiers and dreams are like lovers who come without warning
          AM                 C                     AM            C        D
and take you by surprise when you think you must make it alone
G                    D               EM                   BM       C    
but sooner or later their presence it's only a memory
          AM                 C               D          D7              G D
but you know that without them we'd never have rolled back the stone.
G                          D                  EM          BM           C
My darling once told me that loving it's better than living
       AM             C             AM            C            D 
but I told her survival for me it's the easier game
    G                  D               EM                BM           C
I couldn't live with her it's now I just can't live without her
    AM                     C              D       D7           G        D
I thought I'd feel different but somehow I still feel the same
G             D             EM     BM          C     
Romeo tells me that Juliet can't live without him
            AM        C         AM         C                         D
and Aphelia's crazy for Hamlet who wants to be king
     G             D                   EM                  BM       C
and away in the distance Marc-Anthony loved Cleopatra
        AM          C         D        D7       G  D
While Portia sits silent soliloquizing in the wings.
G                    D       EM           BM          C
While lovers lie sleeping I find myself travelling towards you
     AM           C          AM          C             D
the wind and the rain is as soft as the sigh on your face
G              D           EM        BM           C
What's ever before me is nothing to what I have lived through
     AM          C          D          D7           G  D
the pain, the passion, the lust, the tears and the lies
        G          D          EM              BM            C
So if lovers are losers then what price this game we are playing?
     AM             C          AM            C       D
And what price the man who has not got the money to pay?
          G           D             EM          BM        C
When the voices and prayers of the angels were just an illusion
         AM            C          D              D7       G           D
For the lost and the lonely and those who have nothing to say.
