Lyrics

[Intro]
| B5 D5 | G5 A5 | B5 D5 | G5 A5 |

[Verse 1]
B5         A5   B5            D5
I remember when I was told of story of
        G5
Crushed velvet,
       E/G#              A5
candle wax, and dried up flowers
    B5            A5  B5                D5
The figure on the bed all dressed up in roses,
calling
G5           E/G#   A5
Beckoning to sleep, offering a dream

[Verse 2]
B5              A5         B5           D5
  Words were as mystical as  purring animals
    G5        E/G#
The circle of rage,
    A5
the ghosts on the stage appeared
B5             A5
  The time was so tangible,
B5                  D5
  I'll never let it go
G5              E/G#       A5               F#5          G5
  Ghost stories handed down  reached secret tunnels below

[Bridge]
             A5    B5 D5
No one could see me

[Chorus]
G5                   B5 D5
I fell into yesterday
    G5
Our dreams seemed not far away
B5         D5         G5            B5 D5
I want to, I want to, I want to stay
G5          A5
I fell into fantasy

[Intro Riff]
                | B5 D5 | G5 A5 |
| B5 D5 | G5 A5 |

[Verse 3]
B5              A5         B5           D5
  Words were as mystical as  purring animals
    G5        E/G#
The circle of rage,
    A5
the ghosts on the stage appeared
B5             A5
  The time was so tangible,
B5                  D5
  I'll never let it go
G5              E/G#       A5                            G5
  Ghost stories handed down  reached secret tunnels below

I fell into yesterday
    G5
Our dreams seemed not far away
B5         D5         G5            B5 D5
I want to, I want to, I want to stay
G5          A5
I fell into fantasy

[Bridge]
B5 A5 G5 A5
B5
  The girl on the wall always waited for me
A5                   G5
  And she was always smiling
                  A5
The teenage death boys,
the teenage death girls

[Interlude]
B5                 A5
  And everyone was dancing
        G5
Nothing could touch us then,
A5
no one could change us then
B5
  Everyone was dancing
A5
  Nothing could hurt us then,
G5
  no one could see us then
F#5
   Everyone was dancing

I want to, I want to, I want to stay

I fell into fantasy

[Outro]

     I fell into fantasy
  G5        A5
I fell into fantasy

      I fell into fantasy
