[Intro]
Am C F Am
[Verse]
Am
in the dark
C
and I'm right on middle mark
F
Just in tier of everything that rides below
Am
the surface
Am C
and i watch from a distance seventeen
F
and I'm short of the other dreams of being golden
Am
and on top
Am C
it's not what you painted in my head
F
there's so much there instead of all the colors
Dm
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 Am
leave me to dream
[Verse 2]
Am
in the eyes
C
of a teenage crystallized
F
oh the prettiest of lights that hang the hallways
Am
of the home
Am
and the cries
C
from the strangers out at night
F
they don't keep us up at night we have the curtains drawn
Dm
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 Am
leave me to dream
[Bridge]
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 Am
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 Am
leave me to dream
[Outro]
Am
but i wanna dream
C
i wanna dream
F Am
leave me to dream
