[Verse]
Am
In the dark
C
And I’m right on the middle mark
F Am
I’m just in the tier of everything that rides below the surface
Am C
And I watch from a distance seventeen
F Am
And I’m short of the others dreams of being golden and on top
Am C
It’s not what you painted in my head
F G
There’s so much there instead of all the colors that I saw
[Chorus]
Am C
We all are living in a dream,
F
But life ain’t what it seems
Am
Oh everything’s a mess
Am C
And all these sorrows I have seen
F
They lead me to believe
Am
That everything’s a mess
Am
But I wanna dream
C
I wanna dream
F G
Leave me to dream
[Verse]
Am
In the eyes
C
Of a teenage crystallized
F Am
Oh the prettiest of lights that hang the hallways of the home
Am C
And the cries from the strangers out at night
F
They don’t keep us up at night
G
We have the curtains drawn and closed
[Chorus]
Am C
We all are living in a dream,
F
But life ain’t what it seems
Am
Oh everything’s a mess
Am C
And all these sorrows I have seen
F
They lead me to believe
Am
That everything’s a mess
Am
But I wanna dream
C
I wanna dream
F G
Leave me to dream
[Verse]
Am
I know all your reasons
C
To keep me from seeing
F Am
Everything is actually a mess
Am
But now I am leaving
C
All of us were only dreaming
F G
Everything is actually a mess
[Chorus]
Am C
We all are living in a dream,
F
But life ain’t what it seems
Am
Oh everything’s a mess
Am C
And all these sorrows I have seen
F
They lead me to believe
Am
That everything’s a mess
Am
But I wanna dream
C
I wanna dream
F G
Leave me to dream
Am
I wanna dream
C
I wanna dream
F G
Leave me to dream
