"Little Dreamer" by Future Islands, Album Version
BbI caught you sleeping here, Eball wrapped in wool
GmI caught you sleeping here, Falmost broke my heart
BbI found you dreaming            EbI'm dreaming of you 
Gmalways                      Falways
 Cm   Bb   Dm   Ebx2
BbWhen I was just a child,   Eba lonely boy
GmI held onto my dreams,  Flike they could run from me
BbThe hopes I harbored fled,   Ebas they often do
GmBut I still dreamed of you,   FAnd now my dreams come true
 Cm   Bb   Dm   Ebx2
 Bb   Eb   Gm   F(solo, cue birds)
BbAnd as we say goodnight,   EbI hold you close and tight
GmNo more raging suns, Fonly waning ones
BbLike the waxing scar Ebwhere my lonely heart
GmOnce bloomed beFfore I met
Bbyou My little dreamEber, I'll
