(Guitar I,II - chord strums with slight picking)

E      A/A~                  B/B~               E

 Oh my life is changing everyday every possible way

E          A/A~                           B/B~                    E

 though my dreams, it's never quite as it seems never quite as it seems

 

 (Guitar I - picking of Riff A)

E                          A/A~                             B/B~

I know I felt like this before but now I'm feeling it even more

E

because it came from you

 

 

(Guitar I,II - chord strums with slight picking)

E                   A/A~

 Then I open up and see

                            B/B~

the person fumbling here is me

                   E

a different way to be

 

 

[O'Riordan chanting part]

Chords : G C G C

(Guitar I - play single chord strums with tremelo effect)

 

 

(Guitar I,II - chord strums with slight picking)

I want more, impossible to ignore

impossible to ignore

they'll come true, impossible not to do

impossible not to do

 

(Guitar I - picking of Riff A)

Now I tell you openly

you have my heart so don't hurt me

for what I couldn't find

 

(Guitar I,II - chord strums with slight picking)

Talk to me amazing mind

so understanding and so kind

you're everything to me

 

Oh my life is changing everyday

every possible way

though my dreams, it's never quite as it seems

'cause you're a dream to me

dream to me
