don't follow your Dmdreams
You'll be dead someday
Just like Eme"

And I started to Dmthink

And I realized 
that man was me

Intro: --/----

Verse 1:

I woke up to a dream passing by

It was the middle of the night

Was I awake? Was I asleep?

What was I doing outside?

I saw a man walk from the trees

He came and sat next to me

He said, "Boy, if you

don't follow your dreams

You'll be dead someday

Just like me"

Then he got up

and walked away

And I started to think

He turned around

I saw his face

And I looked deep

in his eyes

And I realized

that man was me

Chorus:

Dm F

You're not for this world

This world is for you

And now is the time

(There's no tomorrow!)

Dm F

So make the most

of every day

While you're alive

(Stand for something!)

Interlude: (hold)

Verse 2:

I contemplate my

every day

And everything I've

been afraid to change

Never good enough

(promptly too late?)

Always excuses away

I used to think if

I never tried

I would never fail

Now I realize I

can do anything

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:

Bb C

Too little too late

And then you die

And no one even

knows your name

Don't let your light

fight from your heart

Your heart gives you

the best advice

C Gm Eb

Believe!

Bb C Gm-- Gm(hold)

Believe!

(Repeat Chorus)

Outro:

For what you believe

Bb--F/A--Dm--F--Bb--F/A--Dm(hold)
