The Louvin Brothers - When I Stop Dreaming Chords

[Intro]
G           C
When I stop dreaming
C      G              D7     G
That's when I'll stop loving you
 
 
[Verse 1]
G                   C         G
The worst that I've ever been hurt in my life
G   D7                     C         G
The first time I ever have wanted to die
G                      G7
Was the night when you told me
    C
You loved someone else
    G                   D7
And asked me if I could forget
 
 
[Bridge]
G           C
When I stop dreaming
C      G              D7     G
That's when I'll stop loving you
 
 
[Verse 2]
G
I'd be like a flower unwanted in spring
D7                       C          G
Alone and neglected transplanted in vain
G               G7               C
To a garden of sadness where its petals will fall
C      G                  D7
In the shadows of undying pain
 
 
[Bridge]
G           C
When I stop dreaming
G                     D7          G
That's when I'll stop thinking of you
 
 
[Verse 3]
G
You may teach the flowers to bloom in the snow
    D7                    C           G
You may take a pebble and teach it to grow
G                     G7           C
You may teach all the raindrops to return to the clouds
C       G                       D7
But you can't teach my heart to forget
 
 
[Outro]
G           C
When I stop dreaming
C      G                         D7   G C G D G
That's when I'll stop crying for you
