#1. 
      D7        Gsus4         G    Gsus4        G     B7  F#m7-5  B7

When Am7waking from a D7bad dream,  
                   G  G/       Ab   E7  
Don't you sometimes think it's real? 
But it's A7only false eAm7motions that you D7feel. 
              Gsus4         G   Gsus4           G     B7  F#m7-5  Cdim   B7  
If your heartaches seem to hang around too long, 
                  Em  Am+7                 Em7   E9  
And your blues keep getting bluer with each song, 
                Am7              Cm          G  G/   Ab  E9  
Remember, sunshine can be found, behind a cloudy sky
So, let your A9hair down and Dgo aD7head and Gcry. Gdim  Am7  D7
