[Verse 1]
A E
I'm taking time away to dream,
A D
I'm taking time out to clean up my room,
A E
And when I clean up, my room will gleam,
A N.C.
Because dreams aren't as unreal as they seem.
A E
I'm taking time away to dream,
A E A
I'm taking time out.
[Verse 2]
A E
Put my records in their covers and then
A D
I'll put the albums back into their place,
A E
And I'll sweep up this morning and when
A D
I look at the clock, I see it says ten.
A E
I'm taking time away to dream,
A E A
I'm taking time out.
[Refrain]
D A D
Well I just can't be sure any more,
D A D
I just can't be sure.
D A D
No, I just can't be sure any more,
E
I just can't be sure.
[Verse 3]
A E
I'll pick up my pants even though
A D
I might wear them, wear them today;
A E
smooth out my covers on my bed so,
A D
after I wash them I've got some place to go.
A E
I'm taking time away to dream,
A E A
I'm taking time out.
[Refrain]
D A D
Well I just can't be sure any more,
D A D
I just can't be sure.
D A D
No, I just can't be sure any more,
E
I just can't be sure.
[Verse 4]
A E
I'm taking time away to dream,
A D
I'm taking time out to clean up my room,
A E
And when I clean up, my room will gleam,
A D
Because dreams aren't as unreal as they seem.

I'm taking time away to dream,
A E A A E A
I'm taking time out.
