G C Hear the whistle blow G C It echoes down my soul Em C D It's something I have always known G C Nothing sounds so sad G C A cry to the unknown Em C D The fundamental sigh of all who've gone this way before (D-susC- D G Lay me down to sleep (DsDs)- D - C G Come and comfort me C D Em I'll sleep in peace C (Dsus-D) In a house of broken dreams G C I'm old enough to know G C That dreams are quickly spent Em C D Like a pouring rain on warm cement G C Or fingerprints in dust G C Nectar on the wind EC D Save them for tomorrow and tomorrow lets you down again Em C G Give me the reasons to go on Em C Soften the sorrow that shatters and bends D Dsus-D C-G And mends broken dreams (etc.) Sentimental hearts Hungry for the past Penniless at the wishing-well Memories will last And cover certain scars Acquired in the daily grind of being what we are (Chorus)
