[Verse 1]
Dmaj7                    F#m
Hanging outside, is this road back-incline?
        E                      B/D#
But I'm tired of reaching, I'm tired of reaching
      Dmaj7                    F#m
I let go   of my hopes on this small door of mine
    E                     B/D#
I'm tired of leaving, I'm tired of leaving
    Dmaj7                     F#m
And everything falls except a thing from my eyes
    E                     B/D#
I'm tired of weeping, I'm tired of weeping
      Dmaj7                           F#m
But I thought of you as a bride and I started to cry
        E                  B/D#
Oh, I'm tired of dreaming, tired of dreaming

[Chorus]
       Dmaj7                  F#m
I felt rain on my lips and it matching our skin
        E                  B/D#
Oh, I'm tired of dreaming, tired of dreaming
        Dmaj7              F#m
Oh, I'm tired of dreaming, tired of dreaming
        E                  B/D#
Oh, I'm tired of dreaming, tired of dreaming

[Verse 2]
Dmaj7                           F#m
You  made me a promise that you buried in August
        E                  B/D#
Are you tired of dreaming? Tired of dreaming?
       Dmaj7               F#m
We had lint our fabric for curtains or a mattress
           E                         B/D#
But you're tired of dreaming, you're tired of dreaming
           Dmaj7                        F#m
You stayed late in the office until the thought of it faulted
        E                  B/D#
Are you tired of dreaming? Tired of dreaming?
     Dmaj7                 F#m
Your face is uncovered, is this what you wanted?
E                  B/D#         Dmaj7
Tired of dreaming, tired of dreaming

[Outro]
F#m E B/D#
Dmaj7 F#m E B/D#
Dmaj7   E
