Stupid Dreams

[Intro ]
Am  C  G  F 

 
           Am                   C 
There's a boy at the truck stop, on his way to Nashville 
         G                         F 
With a guitar in a case, and the spurs still on his heel 
            Am                     C 
There's a tired old man, from the other side of ambition 
    G                                   F 
He sat down with the boy, when that old Gibson caught his attention 
        Am        G          F 
He said I know where you're goin 
        Am         G          F 
And I think I'll have you knowin' 
 

 
    Am                          C 
Dreamin's just another way of hidin' from what's real 
                G                                    F 
The strongest proofs will prove to you, you really don't know how to feel 
          Am                              C 
If you open up your wings know that the higher that you reach 
      G                               F 
The further you will fall when you wake up from your sleep 
    Am          G        F 
So curse those stupid dreams 
 

Interlude 
Am  C  G  F 

 
               Am                          C 
Now there's an old six-string for sale, goin' for a pretty penny 
               G                              F 
'Cause it's penned a couple songs, and now fear's done wrote its ending 
           Am           G        F 
'Cause a dream's been laid to sleep 
 

  
    Am                          C 
Dreamin's just another way of hidin' from what's real 
                G                                    F 
The strongest proofs will prove to you, you really don't know how to feel 
          Am                              C 
If you open up your wings know that the higher that you reach 
      G                               F 
The further you will fall when you wake up from your sleep 
    Am          G        F 
So curse those stupid dreams 

Solo 
Am  C  G  F 
Am  C  G  F 
 
 
                   Am           G          F 
But it's not the money, or his name this time 
            Am          G          F 
That's why he's done changed his mind 
            Am       G         F 
He's goin north, J-45 by his side 
            Am*        G*           F 
Singing I'm gonna feel alive until I die 
 

  
                   Am                      C 
He knows that dreamin's just another way of hidin' from what's real 
                 G                                   F 
The strongest proofs will prove to you, you really don't know how to feel 
            Am                              C 
But as he opens up his wings he knows the stars is where he'll reach 
             G                        F 
He doesn't care if he falls when he wakes up from his sleep 
        Am          G       F 
He'll chase those stupid dreams 
      Am         G      F 
So chase those stupid dreams
