Capo IV
[Verse]
G
I had a dream last night
D G
A beautiful dream ‘bout you
G
Then I fell out of bed
G
With a song in my head
D G
Ringing so sweet and true
[Pre-Chorus]
C G
But the fool that I was failed to write it right down
D Em7 C
Which I now sincerely repent
G
Cause by the time lunch time came around
D G
I’d completely forgot how it went
[Chorus]
C D Em7 C
I swear somewhere in the ether out there
G D Em7 C
There’s the most beautiful song for you
G D Em7 C
But until that refrain returns to my brain
G D C
This one will have to do
G D G
This one’s gonna have to do
[Verse]
G
How will you ever know
D G
Just how much I love you
G
When I have to resort
G
To words that fall short
D G
And rarely,rarely ring true
[Pre-Chorus]
C G
But the fool that I was failed to try anyway
D Em7 C
Which I also sincerely repent
G
Since you started to cry
G
Packed up said goodbye
D G
Called a taxi and off you went
[Chorus]
C D Em7 C
I swear somewhere in the ether out there
G D Em7 C
There’s the most beautiful song for you
G D Em7 C
But until that refrain returns to my brain
G D C
This one will have to do
G D G
Darling this one will have to do
[Verse]
G
Things are seldom quite what
D G
They’re all cracked up to be
G
And it sure always seems
G
That the songs in my dreams
D G
Sound so much sweeter to me
[Pre-Chorus]
C G
But nonetheless I will now do my best
D Em7 C
To knock off a tune and a rhyme
G
But perhaps a short nap
G
Will best help me tap
D G
Into my subconscious mind
