D
 First thing we'd climb a tree and maybe then we'd talk
D
 Or sit silently and listen to our thoughts
Csus2                     D
 With illusions of someday casting a golden light
Csus2               D
 No dress rehearsal, this is our life

 And that's where the hornet stung me and I had a feverish dream
                 Csus2                          D
With revenge and doubt, tonight we smoke them out

 Stare in the morning shroud and then the day began
D
 I tilted your cloud, you tilted my hand

 Rain falls in real time and rain fell through the night
Csus2               D
 No dress rehearsal, this is our life

D                                   Csus2               D
 But that's when the hornet stung me and I had a serious dream
                 Csus2                          D
With revenge and doubt, tonight we smoke them out
