[Verse 1]
You're Ddrinking, you're C#mworn out
You're Bmway too good at getAting what you want
And I waDnt foremost to unleC#mash you
A world Bmof harm, just for dAiamonds on your coffin
And I knoDw its wrong, but I C#mwant in
Just to bBme like you, but you taAlked too much to listen
And I want Dyou more, and we're meaC#mnt to be grown ups
And I faulBmt you wrongly
Blame it on tAhe change of heart
[Chorus]
OooOh DWhy dream at all tonight
If you're keC#meping all the fear inside
Look into the brBmight screen
That shows you all the pC#mlaces you dream to be
Oh just opeDn up your eyes
And celebratC#me how high we get to be no lieBms and no hate
Finally you oC#mwe it to yourself
[Verse 2]
I race Dhome, because I cC#mannot wait to live with you
But I Bmwon't bother you if Ayou want out
So givDe it back to me way too honest,
We're C#mdividing everything among the few
And I Bmjudge you wrongly
Blame Ait on the change of heart
[Chorus]
OooOh DWhy dream at all tonight
If you're keC#meping all the fear inside
Look into the brBmight screen
That shows you all the pC#mlaces you dream to be
OooOh Djust open up your eyes
And celebratC#me how high we get to be no lieBms and no hate
Finally you oC#mwe it to yourself
