Intro: Dbm E  Amaj7  Dbm
 
Verse:
         Dbm7
in the dark
                          E
and I'm right on middle mark
                       Amaj7
I'm just in tier of everything that rides below
      Dbm
the surface
       Dbm                        E
and I watch from a distance seventeen
                              Amaj7
and I'm short of the other dreams of being golden
        Dbm
and on top
     Dbm                         E
it's not what you painted in my head
                         Amaj7
there's so much there instead of all the colors
         B
that I saw
 
Chorus:
    Dbm                  E
we all are living in a dream
                         Amaj7
but life ain't what it seems
                   Dbm
oh everything's a mess
    Dbm                       E
and all these sorrows I have seen
                    Amaj7
they lead me to believe
                     Dbm
that everything's a mess
               Dbm
but I wanna dream
           E
I wanna dream
              Amaj7    Dbm
leave me to dream
 
Verse 2:
        Dbm
in the eyes
                    E
of a teenage crystallized
                     Amaj7
oh the prettiest of lights that hang the hallways
        Dbm
of the home
         Dbm
and the cries
                           E
from the strangers out at night
                          Amaj7
they don't keep us up at night we have the curtains drawn
       B
and closed
 
Chorus:
    Dbm                  E
we all are living in a dream
                         Amaj7
but life ain't what it seems
                   Dbm
oh everything's a mess
    Dbm                       E
and all these sorrows I have seen
                    Amaj7
they lead me to believe
                     Dbm
that everything's a mess
               Dbm
but I wanna dream
           E
I wanna dream
              Amaj7   Dbm
leave me to dream

 
Dbm     E     Amaj7   Dbm
Ooh ah  ooh   ooh ah  ooh
 
Bridge:
Dbm
I know all your reasons
E
To keep me from seeing
Amaj7                        Dbm
Everything is actually a mess
Dbm
But now I am leaving
E
All of us were only dreaming
Amaj7                      Dbm
Everything is actually a mess

oh everything's a mess
    Dbm                       E
and all these sorrows I have seen
