Am  C  Fmaj7  Am


[Verse]

         Am7
in the dark
                          C
and I'm right on middle mark
                       Fmaj7
I'm just in tier of everything that rides below
      Am
the surface
       Am                         C
and I watch from a distance seventeen
                              Fmaj7
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
                         Fmaj7
there's so much there instead of all the colors
         G
that I saw


[Chorus]

    Am                   C
we all are living in a dream
                         Fmaj7
but life ain't what it seems
                   Am
oh everything's a mess
    Am                        C
and all these sorrows I have seen
                    Fmaj7
they lead me to believe
                     Am
that everything's a mess
               Am
but I wanna dream
           C
I wanna dream
              Fmaj7    Am
leave me to dream


[Verse 2]

        Am
in the eyes
                    C
of a teenage crystallized
                     Fmaj7
oh the prettiest of lights that hang the hallways
        Am
of the home
         Am
and the cries
                           C
from the strangers out at night
                          Fmaj7
they don't keep us up at night we have the curtains drawn
       G
and closed


[Chorus]

    Am                   C
we all are living in a dream
                         Fmaj7
but life ain't what it seems
                   Am
oh everything's a mess
    Am                        C
and all these sorrows I have seen
                    Fmaj7
they lead me to believe
                     Am
that everything's a mess
               Am
but I wanna dream
           C
I wanna dream
              Fmaj7   Am
leave me to dream


Am      C     Fmaj7   Am
Ooh ah  ooh   ooh ah  ooh


[Bridge]

Am
I know all your reasons
C
To keep me from seeing
Fmaj7                        Am
Everything is actually a mess
Am
But now I am leaving
C
All of us were only dreaming
Fmaj7                      Am
Everything is actually a mess


[Chorus]

    Am                   C
we all are living in a dream
                         Fmaj7
but life ain't what it seems
                   Am
oh everything's a mess
    Am                        C
and all these sorrows I have seen
                    Fmaj7
they lead me to believe
                     Am
that everything's a mess


    Am                   C
we all are living in a dream
                         Fmaj7
but life ain't what it seems
                   Am
oh everything's a mess
    Am                        C
and all these sorrows I have seen
                    Fmaj7
they lead me to believe
                     Am
that everything's a mess
               Am
but I wanna dream
           C
I wanna dream
              Fmaj7    Am
leave me to dream
