The Thing About Dreams

	  		Intro: C F x2 


    C 
The thing about dreams, 
Is that everything seems, 
Like you're riding a wave. 
                                  F  C 
It's been forming all day in your mind. 


C 
The thing about time, 
It's all in your mind. 
                                                  F 
Days turn to weeks turn to years turn to infinite signs, 
                      C 
What you're leavin' behind. 


        Am 
And the hell with the rest, 
    G 
You gave them your best. 
    F 
You talk through your teeth 
And the black cigarettes 
         G 
And your hand. 


     C 
I've always believed 
You were more than impossible, 
More than you seem 
                           F 
And hardly responsible for my life, 
    Am 
For my eyes. 
      G 
Let's stay the night. 
                     F  G 
We'll leave with the sunrise. 

      
    C 
The thing about me, 
Is I wanted to be, 
More than just friends 
And hardly acquaintances. 
F               C 
I, I wanna know why. 


C 
Turn in your sleep, 
The secrets you keep, 
                                                 F 
The things that you bury so deeply, discreetly inside. 
       C 
My, oh my. 


        Am 
And the hell with the words, 
   G 
Or haven't you heard? 
F 
Nobody says what they mean 
                   G 
'Til the second or third whiskey ride. 


     C 
I've always believed 
You were more than impossible, 
More than you seem 
                           F 
And hardly responsible for my life, 
    Am 
For my eyes. 
      G 
Let's stay the night. 
                     F  G 
We'll leave with the sunrise. 


    C 
The thing about love, 
It's never enough. 
Circumstance changes 
                               F 
And life's always calling your bluff. 
           C 
Enough is enough. 

             Am 
And when you sleep, you're alone. 
         G 
When you dream you're just one 
     F 
Of a million small pieces. 
                          G 
My darling I see you, I'm one. 


     C 
I've always believed 
We were more than impossible, 
More than you seem 
                           F 
And hardly responsible for my life, 
    Am 
For my eyes. 

             F 
And now I've said too much, 
    G 
I'm not givin' up. 
        F 
I can't carry the weight 
        G 
Of this overfilled cup. 
       F 
I just close my eyes 
            G 
Like you're close to the touch 
         C 
And I'll dream, dream. 


You're not what you seem. 
You're not what you seem.
