[Intro]
Am  C  Fmaj7  Am
[Strophe]
         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
[Refrain]
    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
[Strophe]
        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
[Refrain]
    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
[Pont]
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
[Refrain]
    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
