[Verse 1]
A                           Bm
Schoolgirls giggling in the next compartment
D               A
Lipstick ladies in their head
                  F#m
Magazine styles romantic visions
D                      A              E
Starting their lives advertisement fed


[Pre-Chorus]
            F#m        E    F#m      E           D           A
And they're brought up to believe in dreams of a better life
Bm       D                       F#m
Thinking about the easy years to come
        F#m     E          F#m  E        D                   A
Looking forward that's the only way that they've been taught
Bm          C#m                 F#m
One day the world will be their own


[Chorus]
        E            A
And the wheel turns around
       Bm              A
In the twinkling of an eye
         D                     F#m            D
And they find their hopes just castles in the sand


[Bridge]
A                  F#m
Older faces in the mirror now
D                 A
Chasing ghosts of yesterday
               F#m
Once they were foolish, once they didn't care
D                        A        E
Now their eyes fill with memories


[Pre Chorus]
        F#m        E    F#m      E           D           A
They're brought up to believe in dreams of a better life
F#m       A         C#m        E         F#m
They sure knew good times when they were young
    F#m      E               F#m E    D         A
But somehow, sometimes, it's not easy to recall
Bm      F#m         C#m       F#m
All the good things they have done


[Chorus]
         G          F#m
As their time slips away
     Bm            A
Only memories live on
     G                 F#m            E
Ever changing with the passing of the years


[Bridge]
          G       D  F#m
How could life be so hard
       Bm             A
Fading wishes left to rust
          G                 F#m       C#m      E
Till they find the stardust sprinkled in their eyes


[Verse 2]
A                           Bm
Schoolgirls giggling in the next compartment
D               A
Lipstick ladies in their head
                  F#m
Magazine styles romantic visions
D                      A              E

[Pre Chorus]
            F#m        E    F#m      E           D           A
And they're brought up to believe in dreams of a better life
Bm       D                       F#m
Thinking about the easy years to come
        F#m     E          F#m  E        D                   A
