Dad Says

E|-----| Verse I----- 

       C        G         Am 
I am giving up one of my dreams 
     G
today
     C          G          Am     
I found out I can't always get my 
 G
way
        C         G          Am  
And sometimes a dream isn't worth
           G
 what you pay
         C        G         Am   
So I'm giving up one of my dreams
   G
 today
  C            G         Am      
When we are children we look to 
    G
the sky
    C        G            Am     
We want everything, I'm afraid to
     G
 ask why
E|-----| Verse II----- 

    C            G       Am      
And I saw the sparkling fish in 
    G
the sea
     C             G           
I dreamed I would find one who'd 
   Am          G
swim next to me
     C            G             
And this called love and it's 
Am          G
worth every reason
  C          G             Am    
Love is the cool and the warmth 
         G
in each season
     C            G        Am    
But how does one love and what 
       G
does one do
           C             G        
When the dream that you have 
    Am           G
doesn't want to pick you

     C  G       Am      G
But oh oh don't cry for me
       C             G       
It's just one dream less on my 
     D
shoulder
     C  G            Am         G
And oh oh dad says giving up dreams
     C          G            D
Is just a sign I'm getting older

E|-----| Verse III----- 

 C         G        Am           G
He was a stoner and I'm like a light
      C             G          
And when he would blaze I'd sing 
   Am           G
songs by his side
    C               G           
But my dream takes two strong 
Am               G
hearts that will fight
    C            G             Am
And he doesn't dream, he just 
         G
sleeps at night

     C  G       Am      G
But oh oh don't cry for me
       C             G       
It's just one dream less on my 
     D
shoulder
     C  G            Am         G
And oh oh dad says giving up dreams
     C          G            D
Is just a sign I'm getting older
E|-----| Verse IV----- 

         C             G       
Oh they say to much smoking will 
    Am          G
change your taste
        C               G         
Maybe that's why he's kissing some
  Am          G
 other girls face
    C         G          Am     G
But I never dreamed of second place
         C          G      
So I'd rather just quit than 
     Am        G
continue to race

     C  G       Am      G
But oh oh don't cry for me
       C             G       
It's just one dream less on my 
     D
shoulder
     C  G            Am         G
And oh oh dad says giving up dreams
     C          G            D
Is just a sign I'm getting older
    C   G        Am         G
And oh oh I am singing on stage
         C          G         
But it doesn't mean I know much 
    D
better
   G                 Am         G
Oh oh oh oh, your probably like me
      C       G         Am       
Some days dreaming and some days 
    G
a quitter
E|-----| Verse V----- 

        C       G          Am
I am giving up one of my dreams 
     G
today
  C       G            Am        
After I held him and begged him 
   G
to stay
      C        G              Am 
And after my dream will drown out
        G
 to a whisper
  C          G            Am     
After I've burnt all the photo 
       G
booth pictures
E|-----| Verse VI----- 

      C       G         Am       
And after I erased our names from
      G
 the sky
            C      G        Am    G
Stopped wondering how and asking why
       C          G         Am   
Oh I wish I had words to 
     G
encourage inspire
          C             G         
But the truth is I'm ripped and 
  Am            G
I'm sad and I'm tired
        C        G             Am
I'm a loser in love and an 
         G
abandoner of dreams
      C          G              
And today I have up the one for 
Am       G
him, and me
