G   Em   G   C  D
G   Em   G   C  D
[Verse 1]
Oh, isn’t it Gnice that we can dream
Of all the Emplaces we can't see
Fly over Coceans wide
Do all the Dthings we never tried
[Verse 2]
And isn't it Gstrange how you can go
Back to a Emhome you've never known
It's like you were Cthere before
A place you've been Dsearching forEm  
[Chorus]
The Dnew world waits inCside your GdreamEm  
And your Dheart knows the Cway
[Verse 3]
Isn't it Gnice to feel so free
And love the way Emlove's supposed to be
Never with Churt or pain
And never with Dsomething else to gain
[Verse 4]
And isn't it Gstrange it seems so clear
That you have Emnothing here to fear
But somehow the Cmorning light
Fades all the Dthings you see at nightEm  
[Chorus]
The Dnew world waits inCside your GdreamEm  
And your Dheart leads the Cway
Isn't it Gnice to let it go
On through the Emlife you'll someday know
And let the Creal world Dfade aGway
[Bridge]
BmOnce you're there, you'll Cknow that you're inside
You Bmcan't turn back when you Copen your Deyes
[Instrumental]
G   Em   G   C  D

The Dnew world waits inCside your GdreamEm  
And your Dheart knows the Cway
Isn't it Gnice to let it go
On through the Emlife you'll someday know
And let the Creal world Dfade aGway
Isn't it Gnice to let it go
On through the Emlife you'll someday know
And let the Creal world Dfade aGway
