[Verse]
In the daAmrk
And I’m right on the middle mCark
I’m just in the tier of everyFthing that rides below the suAmrface
And I wAmatch from a distance seventeeCn
And I’m short of the others drFeams of being golden and on toAmp
It’s nAmot what you painted in my heCad
There’s so much there instFead of all the colors that I sGaw
[Chorus]
We aAmll are living in a drCeam,
But life ain’t what it seFems
Oh everything’s a meAmss

[Verse]

In the dark

And I’m right on the middle mark

F Am

I’m just in the tier of everything that rides below the surface

Am C

And I watch from a distance seventeen

F Am

And I’m short of the others dreams of being golden and on top

Am C

It’s not what you painted in my head

F G

There’s so much there instead of all the colors that I saw

[Chorus]

Am C

We all are living in a dream,

But life ain’t what it seems

Oh everything’s a mess

Am C

And all these sorrows I have seen

They lead me to believe

That everything’s a mess

But I wanna dream

I wanna dream

F G

Leave me to dream

[Verse]

In the eyes

Of a teenage crystallized

F Am

Oh the prettiest of lights that hang the hallways of the home

Am C

And the cries from the strangers out at night

They don’t keep us up at night

We have the curtains drawn and closed

[Chorus]

Am C

We all are living in a dream,

But life ain’t what it seems

Oh everything’s a mess

Am C

And all these sorrows I have seen

They lead me to believe

That everything’s a mess

But I wanna dream

I wanna dream

F G

Leave me to dream

[Verse]

I know all your reasons

To keep me from seeing

F Am

Everything is actually a mess

But now I am leaving

All of us were only dreaming

F G

Everything is actually a mess

[Chorus]

Am C

We all are living in a dream,

But life ain’t what it seems

Oh everything’s a mess

Am C

And all these sorrows I have seen

They lead me to believe

That everything’s a mess

But I wanna dream

I wanna dream

F G

Leave me to dream

I wanna dream

F G

Leave me to dream
