This song only uses 3 shapes.
I'll refer to them by the base note since the top notes never change.
To play them alternate between the base and the D and G strings together.
Each time the chord is written play the pattern for a full measure (4 times).
*Can play the A chord with open A instead of E5*
--C-- --A-- --G--

[Intro]

C C A A
I have this dream where we are content in collaboration,
C C A A G
I am writing airport novels, and you are taking pictures of happy couples,
G G G C C C C
Yeah, you're taking wedding photos,
C C A A
And in this dream, we are struggling to pay the rent,
C C A A G
Put my life into boxes, count the issues but never solve them,
G G G C C
But you're not worried... about it,
A C A C
And I'm washing dishes, cleaning cabinets,
A C A C
You're working too hard and I can't stand it,
G G G G C
I write between the lines: I'm glad you're in my life.
Finish by strumming barred C
