Standard Tuning
Capo on 4
I palm mute the verses and fully strum the chorus, with single strums during the
bridge. Whatever works, I guess.

Intro: (Em, G6, Cmaj7) x2
[Em]I had a [G6]dream you [Cmaj7]died,
and I just want to [Em]be with [G6]you to[Cmaj7]night
Mission bells were [Em]ringing
so[G6]mewhere h[Cmaj7]igher,
I let you [Em]get away[G6][Cmaj7]
I let you [Em]get away[G6][Cmaj7]
What kind of [Em]man misunder[G6]stands
a woman like [Cmaj7]you,
[Em]sees her in [G6]black and [Cmaj7]white?
It's [Em]5 AM and [G6]phone book says that you're [Cmaj7]not alone
in the [Em]cold gray [G6]morning li[Cmaj7]ght
The [Em]only [G6]one that's [Cmaj7]left to trust,
my [Em]faithless [G6]heart that [Cmaj7]wasted us.
[G]I had a [Cadd9]dream you [Em7]died,
and I just want to [G]be with [Cadd9]you ton[Em7]ight
Mission bells were [G]ringing
so[Cadd9]mewhere hi[Em7]gher,
I let you [G]get away[Cadd9][Em7]
I let you [G]get away[Cadd9][Em7]
[Em]What kind of fool thinks [G6]love's a prison
or a [Cmaj7]handicap,
[Em]only [G6]says good[Cmaj7]bye?
[Em]Sinking fast in the [G6]rocky waters off [Cmaj7]Alcatraz,
his [Em]friends say [G6]sui[Cmaj7]cide
The [Em]only [G6]one that's [Cmaj7]left to trust,
my [Em]faithless [G6]heart that [Cmaj7]wasted us.
[G]I had a [Cadd9]dream you [Em7]died,
and I just want to [G]be with [Cadd9]you ton[Em7]ight
Mission bells were [G]ringing
so[Cadd9]mewhere hi[Em7]gher,
I let you [G]get away[Cadd9][Em7]
I let you [G]get away[Cadd9][Em7]
I'm the [Em]end of a Hitchcock [G6]movie
a little [Cmaj7]dark and a lot confusing
I'm the [Em]last of the worst [G6]pretenders
so [Cmaj7]lost, so lost in love
I'm the [Em]end of a Hitchcock [G6]movie
