Am
In dreams we do so many things
F
We set aside the rules we know
Am
And fly above the world so high
F
In great and shining rings
Dm G7 C
If only we could always live in dreams
Dm G7
If only we could make of life
F G
What in dreams, it seems
C
But in the real world
Am
We must say real goodbye
F Em
No matter if the love will live
F
It will never die
C
In the real world
Am
There are things that we can't change
F
And endings come to us
D C E
In ways that we can't rearrange
Am G F
I love you, and you love me
Dm G
But sometimes we must let it be
F
In the real world
Am
In the real world
[Bridge]
Am Dm G
Am Am Am
When we were dreaming heart to heart
F
I wish that we had stayed right there
Am Am Am
For when the dreamers do awake
F
The dreams do disappear
Dm G7 C
If only we could always live in dreams
Dm G7
If only we could make of life
F G
What in dreams, it seems
C
But in the real world
Am
There are things that we can't change
F
And endings come to us
D C E
In ways that we can't rearrange
Am G F
I love you, and you love me
Dm G
But sometimes we must let it be
F
In the real world
C
In the real world
[Outro]
Am Dm7 G C
