Faust, Midas, and Myself

Tom:
  A   G    Bm    A    Em
This one’s about a dream
I had last night
Bm         A                  Em
How an old man tracked me home
And stepped inside
   Bm       A               Em
He put his foot inside the door
                     G
And gave a crooked smile
                 F#m
Something in his eyes
                  G
Something in his laugh
                  F#
Something in his voice
That made my skin crawl off
Bm               A                 Em
He said, "I’ve seen you here before
I know your name
Bm         A         Em
You could have your pick
of pretty things
Bm         A      Em
You could have it all
                G
Everything at once
                   F#m
Everything you’ve seen,
                    G
Everything you’ll need,
                        F#
Everything you’ve ever had in fantasies”

[Trecho 2x 2x 2x]
Bm                A
"You’ve one life,  You’ve one life
G
You’ve one life left to lead
Bm   A               Em
I woke up from my dream
As a golden man
Bm        A               Em
With a girl I’ve never seen
With golden skin
Bm      A            Em
I jumped up to my feet
                        G
She asked me what was wrong
             F#m
I began to scream
                      G
I don’t think this is me
                 F#
Is this just a dream or really happening?
Bm                A
"You’ve one life,  You’ve one life
G
You’ve one life left to lead
G
What direction?
A
What direction?
Bm
I’m splitting up! I’m splitting up!
D
This is my personal disaffection
G                        A
What direction? What direction?
What direction now?
Bm   A                  Em
I looked outside the glass
At golden shores
Bm A               Em
Golden ships and masts
With golden cords
Bm   A             Em
As my reflection passed
                G
I hated what I saw
                    F#m
My golden eyes were dead
                                 G
And a thought passed through my head
                         F#
A heart that is made of gold can’t really beat at all
G
I wanted to wake up again
                       F#m
I wanted to wake up again
                     F
Without a touch of gold
G                    A
Without a touch of gold
G               A
What direction?
Bm               D
What direction?
G               A
What direction? What direction?
Bm
What direction? (Death or action!)
D
Life begins at the intersection
G               A
What direction? What direction?
What direction now?
Bm   A           Em
I woke up as before
But the gold was gone
Bm    A               Em
My wife was at the door
With her night robe on
Bm    A                  Em
My heart beat once or twice
                     G
And life flooded my veins
                  F#m
Everything had changed
                          G
My lungs had found their voice
                    F#
And what was once routine was now the perfect joy
Bm                A
"You’ve one life,  You’ve one life
G
You’ve one life left to lead
