[Chorus]
C                    Dm
I thought that I was dreaming
                  Am            Dm
When you said you loved me
                C
It started from nothing
                   Dm
I had no chance to prepare
                   Am           Dm
I couldn't see you coming
                C
It started from nothing
        Dm                      Am
I could hate you now
                      Dm              C
It's quite alright to hate me now
                       Dm
When we both know that deep down
                  Am                 Dm
The feeling still deep down is good
 
 
[Verse 1]
G6                     F6
If I could see through walls
                              G6
I could see you're faking
                    F6
If you could see my thoughts
                              G6
You would see our faces
                  F6                         Dm
Safe in my rental like an armored truck back then
                 C
We didn't give a fuck back then
          Em             Dm
I ain't a kid no more
                     Em           Dm
We'll never be those kids again
              C               Dm               G6
We'd drive to Syd's, had the X6 back then
                        F6
Back then
                 G6
No matter what I did
                  F6                G6
My waves wouldn't dip back then
           F6
Everything sucked back then
        Dm
We were friends
 
 
[Chorus]
                     C
I thought that I was dreaming
                  Am                Dm
When you said you loved me
                C
It started from nothing
                   Dm
I had no chance to prepare
                   Am               Dm
I couldn't see you coming
                G6
It started from nothing
        F6                     G6
I could hate you now
                      F6                Em*
It's quite alright to hate me now
                      C
But we both know that deep down
    Em*           Am                      Dm           G6
The feeling still deep down is good
 
 
[Verse 2]
       F6                        G6
In the halls of your hotel
              F6                        Em*
Arm around my shoulder so I could tell
                           C           Em*           Am
How much I meant to you... meant it sincere back then
               Em*
We had time to kill back then
            C                    Dm
You ain't a kid no more
                     Am               Dm
We'll never be those kids again
             C               Dm
It's not the same, ivory's illegal
             Am             Dm
Don't you remember?
             G6
I broke your heart last week
       F6                          G6
You'll probably feel better by the weekend
        F6
Still remember, had you going crazy
G6
Screaming my name
    F6                          G6           F6
The feeling deep down is good
 
 
[Chorus]
C                    Dm
I thought that I was dreaming
                  Am                    Dm
When you said you loved me
                C
It started from nothing
                   Dm
I had no chance to prepare
                 Am                     Dm
Couldn't see you coming
                    G6
And we started from nothing
        F6                         G6
I could hate you now
                F6                        C
It's alright to hate me now
                  Dm
We both know that deep down
                  Am                         Dm
The feeling still deep down is good
 
 
[Outro]
G6                      F6
All the things I didn't mean to say
         G6            F6               Em*
I didn't mean to do
                              Dm
There were things you didn't need to say
            C   Dm
Did you mean to? Me too
          G6               F6
I've been dreaming of you
                  G6         F6
Dreaming of you
          G6                 F6
I've been dreaming of you
                 G6          F6
Dreaming of you
          G6
I've been dreaming

The Em* chord should be called Em/B, other than that this is the most accurate tab
