Intro:Am C F AmAm
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.
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.
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.
