[Intro] 
C
 
 
[[verse i]]
 
C        Dm            G7           C
Whoever said you were breaking the law
 
C                  Dm          G7      C
Can you really hurt somebody if nobody saw
 
C               Dm         G7           C 
Somehow we're dreaming and dreaming so deep
 
C            Dm        G7        C
But neither of us ever gets any sleep

 
[[chorus]]
 
C                Dm                G7           C
What happened to your dreams? What happened to mine?
 
C                 Dm            G7           C
You're wasting my love and I'm wasting your time
 
C        Dm      G7           C
I know you'd go back if you could
 
C                   Dm            G7           C
And you'd leave me standing right there where I stood
 
 
[[verse ii]]
 
C            Dm          G7      C
There was a time when I made you smile
 
C          Dm          G7        C
Now I'm a phantom seen once in a while
 
C            Dm          G7      C
Once like a vision, I haunted your mind
 
C                  Dm          G7      C
But the haunting I feel is a different kind
 
 
[[chorus]]
 
C                Dm                G7           C
What happened to your dreams? What happened to mine?
 
C                 Dm            G7           C
You're wasting my love and I'm wasting your time
 
C        Dm      G7           C
I know you'd go back if you could
 
C                   Dm            G7           C
And you'd leave me standing right there where I stood
 
 
[[verse iii]]
 
C            Dm       G7           C
Yesterday morning I answered your phone
 
C               Dm           G7           C
The voice said hello and it turned me to stone
 
C                Dm       G7           C
You reached for me as I reached for the door
 
C               Dm         G7    C
But I won't be turning to you anymore
 
 
[[chorus]]
 
C                Dm                G7           C
What happened to your dreams? What happened to mine?
 
C                 Dm            G7           C
You're wasting my love and I'm wasting your time
 
C        Dm      G7           C
I know you'd go back if you could
 
C                   Dm            G7           C
And you'd leave me standing right there where I stood
 

[[verse iv]]
 
C               Dm       G7        C
Now there's a lighter place on the wall
 
C                    Dm         G7           C
There was a picture there but I watched it fall
 
C           Dm            G7        C
YOu hung it there with a hammer and nail
 
C                      Dm          G7           C
And you sighed with relief on the day that it fell

 
[[chorus]]
 
C                Dm                G7           C
What happened to your dreams? What happened to mine?
 
C                 Dm            G7           C
You're wasting my love and I'm wasting your time
 
C        Dm      G7           C
I know you'd go back if you could
 
C                   Dm            G7           C
And you'd leave me standing right there where I stood
              whoever said you were breaking the law?
can you really hurt somebody if n-body saw?
somehow we’re dreaming and dreaming so deep
but neither of us ever gets any sleep

what happened to your dreams?
what happened to mine?
you’re wasting my love and i’m wasting your time
i know you’d go back if you could
and you’d leave me standing right there where i stood

there was a time when i made you smile
now i’m a phantom seen once in a while
once like a vision i haunted your mind
but the haunting i feel is a different kind
 
what happened to your dreams?
what happened to mine?
you’re wasting my love and i’m wasting your time
i know you’d go back if you could
and you’d leave me standing right there where i stood

yesterday morning i answered your phone
the voice said h-llo and it turned me to stone
you reached for me as i reached for the door
but i won’t be turning to you anymore

what happened to your dreams?
what happened to mine?
you’re wasting my love and i’m wasting your time
i know you’d go back if you could
and you’d leave me standing right there where i stood

now there’s a lighter place on the wall
there was a picture there but i watched it fall
you hung it there with a hammer and nail
and you sighed with relief on the day that it fell

what happened to your dreams?
what happened to mine?
you’re wasting my love and i’m wasting your time
i know you’d go back if you could
and you’d leave me standing right there where i stood
you’d leave me standing right there where i stood
