[Intro]
G D A
[Verse]
G D A
If you don't write it down, then this never happened
G D A
Tell yourself out loud, "not overreacting."
G D
Cause no one ever hears your voice
A Em
The way that they did when they had no choice
G D
Their headphones are filled with that useless noise
A
That swears that you're not there
[Chorus]
Bm A
And the one thing that you need
G A
Is the dreams back in your sleep
Bm
Where they belong
A Em
I'm where I belong, you'll see
G A D
This means everything to me
[Post Chorus]
G D A
[Verse]
G D A
I don't want your life, where everything's easy
G D A
That Midas touch will unwind, that gold has no meaning
G D
And when you're in that awful place
A
Where you call up your friends and it rings for days
G D
Well I never saw a smile that I could not fake
A
But now what's left to talk about?
[Chorus]
Bm A
And the one thing that I need
G A
Is the dreams back in my sleep
Bm
Where they belong
A Em
I'm where I belong, you'll see
G A D
This means everything to me
[Bridge]
G D A A* A**

Bm A
And the one thing that I need

Is the dreams back in my sleep
Bm
Where they belong
A Em
I'm where I belong, you'll see

This means everything to me
