[Intro]
F Am
F Am G

[Verse 1]

Am
Oh, life is bigger
Em
It's bigger than you
Am
And you are not me
Em
The lengths that I will go to
Am
The distance in your eyes
Em Dm
Oh no, I've said too much
G
I set it up

Am
That's me in the corner
Em
That's me in the spotlight
Am
Losing my religion
Em
Trying to keep up with you
Am
And I don't know if I can do it
Em Dm
Oh no I've said too much
G
I haven't said enough

[Chorus]
F
I thought that I heard you laughing
Am
I thought that I heard you sing
F G Am G
I think I thought I saw you try

[Solo]
Am
C D
But that was just a dream
C D
That was just a dream. That's me in the corner...

[Outro]
Am
