DmLast night I had a dream    
               Dm/           A#  Dm  
That we fell in love under moonlight 
                     Dm/A#  
You and I will always touch 
But the moEmrning came too sAoon 
I woke Emup without yAou 
- Chorus - 
And if you waDnt me G  
             D*            A  
Why do you look the other way? 
If you need Dme G  
            D*                 A  
Why do you say the things you say? 
If you loDve me G  
            D*                A  
Why do we play the games we play? 
Am I in loBve with the dreGamer? 
   D*                          A  Dm  
Or am I just in love with the dream? 
Second verse same as the first:
When I dream, girl 
You're the dream that might come true 
When you dream, girl 
Do you even know it's you? 
Dreams are lies in skin 
But dreams can't tuck me in 
- Chorus -
DmOh A#  
I bDelieve Ait 
DmHey A#  
D                   v(here he does something cool with the D chord)
Are you leaving so soon? 
DmHey A#  
When you lDeave mAe, 
You leaDve D#me with a hAope 
That my drA#eam with yGou might come tDmrue 
True, true, true 
- Chorus - 
The same but end on D*
So if you love me 
Why do you look the other way?
If you need me
Why do you say the things you say? 
If you love me 
Why would we play the games we play? 
Am I in love with a dreamer? 
Or am I just in love, 
Am I in love with the dreamer? 
Or am I just in love, 
Am I in love with the dreamer? 
I'm not sure I'm still in love with the dream.
