The Glittering Prize

[Intro ]

E A E A 



[Verso 1]
 
          E 
There's a silent movie running off its reel inside my mind 
     A 
As I try to fall asleep tonight on prescription lullabies 
       E                                                A 
In the darkness there's a doorway that leads me back to you forever 
                      C#m         A               E 
But these days there's only you and I in photographs 
             C#m                       A                       
Ambitions and dreams we've shared now I wonder who has got the last laugh 
 


[Refrão]
 
      E                       C#m          A 
Cause I know you're crying and you know I'm cold inside 
    E                     C#m        A                         E    A 
Got no expectations for my pride as I reach for that glittering prize 
 


[Verso 2]
 
    E 
I remember on our wedding day looking back at you 
    A 
Our eyes met and we said goodbye as we both said I do 
E                                             A 
Didn't I make a promise baby I would stand by you forever 
                 C#m            A                      E 
But sometimes the best-laid plans flare up and blow away 
             C#m         A                       
And fairytale logic comes sweeps your heart your soul your world away 
 


[Refrão]
 
      E                       C#m          A 
Cause I know you're crying and you know I'm cold inside 
    E                            C#m A 
And I'm tired of living with that lie 
    E                     C#m        A 
And now time is flying and you know I miss that fire 
    E          A              C#m       A 
But I feel for you I've got desire so I reach for that glittering prize

   F#m                              D                       E 
No doll's house dreams or valentines just the future at the door 
     F#m 
Just leaving trains and empty rooms 
         D                              
A broken band of gold cause love don't live here anymore

[Ponte]
 
                    C#m             A 
And some nights I'll come and see you and I know you'll let me in 
                C#m               A 
Two strangers in silence now cause you know in love we could never win 
 


[Refrão]
 
      E                       C#m          A 
Cause I know you're crying and you know I'm cold inside 
    E                            C#m       A 
And I'm tired of living with that lie these days 
    E                     C#m        A 
Cos now time is flying and you know I miss that fire 
    E          A                C#m          A 
Cos I feel for you I've got desire Baby baby in my world 
              E                       
In my world tonight (in your world tonight) 
                                             E 
Reach for that glittering prize (in my world) 
                                                A 
That's all I ever seemed to do (in your world tonight) 
                                                 E 
Was reach for the glittering prize (in my world) 
                                               A 
I lost myself when I lost you (in your world tonight) 
                                                     E 
As I reached for that glittering prize (in my world) 
                                                           A 
And I hope that all your dreams come true (in your world tonight) 
                                                       E 
When you reach for that glittering prize (in my world) in your world in my world tonight
