Eliza Gilkyson - Dream Lover
INTRO:     C    F    G    C(2x)
I lived on the streets down in New Orleans
Just to Fget away Gfrom my Cfamily
Daddy's little dream I was only sixteen
But I Ftook all misGfortune would Chand me
Some Fjohn had a camera and an Cinternet site
And the Amstreets were getting FcrowdedC  
I took the money, it was over by midnight
But FI don't want to Gtalk aCbout itF  G  C  
I do my time in the eye of the lens
So some Floser can Glaunch his Crocket
What do I care if they think they're my friends
When their Fmoney is Gin my Cpocket
You can Fcall me a victim, you can Ccall it a sin
You can Amstand on your stump and Fshout it
But Cit's man's world that we're living in
And FI don't want to Gtalk aCbout it
CHORUS:
'Cause I'm your Fdream lover
CYour wish is my comAmmand
I'm your Fdream lover
CBetter than a one night Gstand
FDream lover
As Cclose as the palm of your Fhand

I'll do the things that your girlfriend won't
And Fmake you beGlieve that I Clike it
But, I say, "Do it", when the others say, "Don't"
And Fwon't even Gtry to Cfight it
I can Fmake it seem, it's not Ccruel or obscene

INTRO: (2x)

I lived on the streets down in New Orleans

F G C

Just to get away from my family

Daddy's little dream I was only sixteen

F G C

But I took all misfortune would hand me

F C

Some john had a camera and an internet site

Am F C

And the streets were getting crowded

I took the money, it was over by midnight

F G C F G C

But I don't want to talk about it

I do my time in the eye of the lens

F G C

So some loser can launch his rocket

What do I care if they think they're my friends

F G C

When their money is in my pocket

F C

You can call me a victim, you can call it a sin

Am F

You can stand on your stump and shout it

But it's man's world that we're living in

F G C

And I don't want to talk about it

CHORUS:

'Cause I'm your dream lover

C Am

Your wish is my command

I'm your dream lover

Better than a one night stand

Dream lover

As close as the palm of your hand

C F G C

I can make it seem, it's not cruel or obscene

Like I can't live a minute without it
