Am Em
I saw you standing and I felt your rage
Am Em
Like a dark cloud on a crowded stage
F G
You were talking thru the smoke in your fantasy
Dm G
I know you girl I know what to believe
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/d/daryl_hall/dreamtime_crd.html ]
Am Em
Maybe things ain't been so good at home
Am Em
And the people that you love never cared at all
F G
You wanna run away don't care where you go
Dm G
You wanna run away, run away that's all you know
Bb F/A
Believe it's alright to fantasize
G F
And say the words you think will satisfy me
Eb Bb/D
But you know better than that

You're living in Dreamtime Baby

C C/B Am Am/G
You're living in Dreamtime Baby
F C/E Dm G
It's time to shape up
Am Em
In your dream it's overcast
Am Em
Rain comes down movin' your way fast
F G
You wanna run away don't care where you go
Dm G
You wanna run away, run away that's all you know
Am Em
Turn a corner then you see a door
Am Em
Walk on thru throw yourself on the floor
F G
When you're looking up it's no surprise
Dm G
Standing there is a man with Movie Star Eyes
Bb F/A
Think he's gonna take care of you
G F
The man with the plan that'll see you thru
Eb Bb/D
I say there ain't no way

Living in Dreamtime
It's hard to carry on ...
