Standard tuning (EADGBe)
 Am   E   G  F#/D  
There's nothing that i wanna do
More than get alone and be with you
Trouble with dreams is they don't come true
And when they do they can't catch up to you
AYoC#mu don't need a thing from me
F#mBut Di need something big from you
Bm'cause you know i've got
GAn BsusawfuBl lot of big dreams
 Am   E   G  F#/D  
I'm walking down a lonely road
Clear to me now but i was never told
Trouble with dreams is you never know
When to hold on and when to let go
AIf C#myou let me down it's alright
F#mAt lDeast that leaves something for me
Bm'cause you know i've got
GAn BsusawfuBl lot of big dreams
 Am   E   G  F#/D  
This is the life that i must lead now
Crossing fingers and wiping brow
Trouble with dreams is you can't pretend
Something with no beginning has an end
AYoC#mu don't need a thing from me
F#mBut Di need something big from you
Bm'cause you know i've got
GAn BsusawfuBl lot of big dreams
