Lyrics

I had a dream I was mugged out (Dm)side your (Am)house.

I had a (C)dream in a pan ic you came (Dm)run ning

out.

For a mo ment you were sure I’d (Dm)die on (Am)you.

For a mo ment I be lieved you (Dm)loved

me too.

We talk may be twen ty (Dm)times a (Am)day

(C)and still I nev er say what (Dm)I want to

say.

But life is nev er like this,

and you were nev er strong.

Too much of a good thing,

won’t be good swer for long.

Al though put you made my heart sing,

to stay with you would be wrong.

Too much of a good thing,

won’t be good an y more.

I Watch where I (E7)tread be fore I (F)fall.

I had a dream I was mugged out (Dm)side your (Am)house.

I had a (C)dream in a pan ic you came (Dm)run ning

out.

For a mo ment you were sure I’d (Dm)die on (Am)you.

For a mo ment I be lieved you (Dm)loved

me too.

We talk may be twen ty (Dm)times a (Am)day

(C)and still I nev er say what (Dm)I want to

say.

I thought I would n’t need to.

I guess I read you wrong.

Too much of a good thing,

won’t be good swer for long,

’cause I put ev ’ry thing out there

and I got noth ing at all.

Too much of a good thing,

is n’t good and you know.

I Watch where I (E7)walk be fore I (F)fall.

(Dm7)fall.

(F)fall.

Be fore I (C)fall.

Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.

Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
