     I'd been building hopes so long,
       F E              F#                 B     
Honey, I must have lost sight of what went wrong.
                                    F#
'Cause in sorrow's blinding light today,
      F  E             F#                  B
Baby, it looks like my dreams were made of clay.



                            F#
Years of yearning spent for you,
       F E                 F#            B  
Honey, I know now were the cravings of a fool.
                                 F#
I guess your wants just slipped away,
          F  E             F#                  B     A
And baby, it looks like my dreams were made of clay.



E                                A
 I knew love could toss you down,
E                                    A
 And leave you there to crawl around.
E                             A         B     A
 But never thought that was a fall we'd make.
E                           A
 Getting up was nothing new,
E                                       A
 The kind of thing heart's learn to do.
E                                         F#
 But knowing how doesn't mean its easy to take.



                    B                        F#   
So I'll forget about plans we had for me and you,
F   E                 F#              B
And dwell on thoughts lonely lives persue.
                       F#
Praying memories don't stay,
             F  E              F#                  B
'Cause baby, it looks like our dreams were made of clay.
