[Verse]
A      D      A              G        D
Did I see you down in a young girl's town
                                 A
with your mother in so much pain?
      G      A            Bm           E
I was almost there at the top of the stairs
           D
with her screamin' in the rain

[Chorus]
                 A      G       D
Did she wake you up to tell you that
                            A
it was only a change of plan?
  G             A           Bm        E
Dream up, dream up, let me fill your cup
          D
with the promise of a man.

[Verse 2]
Did I see you walking with the boys
though it was not hand in hand?
And was some black face in a lonely place
when you could understand?

[Chorus]
                 A      G       D
Did she wake you up to tell you that
                            A
it was only a change of plan?
  G             A           Bm        E
Dream up, dream up, let me fill your cup
          D
with the promise of a man.

[Verse 3]
Will I see you give more than I can take?
Will I only harvest some?
As the days fly past will we lose our grasp
or fuse it in the sun?

[Chorus]
                 A      G       D
Did she wake you up to tell you that
                            A
it was only a change of plan?
  G             A           Bm        E
Dream up, dream up, let me fill your cup
          D
with the promise of a man.
