Intro: Am  C  F  Am  
 
Verse:
         Am  
in the dark  
                          C  
and I'm right on middle mark 
                 F  
Just in tier of everything that rides below 
      Am  
the surface 
       Am                         C  
and i watch from a distance seventeen  
                            F  
and I'm short of the other dreams of being golden 
        Am  
and on top  
     Am                          C  
it's not what you painted in my head 
                         F  
there's so much there instead of all the colors 
         Dm  
that i saw  
 
Chorus:
    Am                  C  
we all are living in a dream 
                         F  
but life ain't what it seems 
                   Am  
oh everything's a mess 
    Am                        C  
and all these sorrows i have seen 
                    F  
they lead me to believe 
                     Am  
that everything's a mess 
               Am  
but i wanna dream 
           C  
i wanna dream 
               F Am  
leave me to dream 
 
Verse 2:
        Am  
in the eyes 
                    C  
of a teenage crystallized 
                     F  
oh the prettiest of lights that hang the hallways 
        Am  
of the home 
         Am                                
and the cries  
                            C  
from the strangers out at night 
                          F  
they don't keep us up at night we have the curtains drawn 
       Dm  
and closed 
 
Chorus:
    Am                  C  
we all are living in a dream 
                         F  
but life ain't what it seems 
                   Am  
oh everything's a mess 
    Am                        C  
and all these sorrows i have seen 
                    F  
they lead me to believe 
                     Am  
that everything's a mess 
               Am  
but i wanna dream 
           C  
i wanna dream 
               F Am  
leave me to dream
 
Bridge:
 Am                    
I know all your reasons 
 C           
To keep me from seeing 
 F                         Am  
Everything is actually a mess 
 Am  
But now I am leaving 
 C  
All of us were only dreaming 
 F                       Am  
Everything is actually a mess
