Verse I:
C#m E
In the dark, and right on the middle mark
A C#m
Just in the tear of everything that rides below the surface
C#m E
In the watch from a distant seventeen
A C#m
Surely other's dreams of being golden and on top
C#m E
It's not, you should paint it in my head
A B
There's so much much there instead of all the colors that I saw
Chorus:
C#m E
We all are living in a dream
A
But life ain't what it seems
C#m
Oh, everything's a mess
C#m E
And all these sorrows I have seen
A
They lead me to believe
C#m
That everything's a mess
C#m
But I want to dream
E
I want to dream
A C#m
Leave me to dream
Verse II:
C#m E
In the eyes of a teenage crystallized
A
Or the prettiest of lights
C#m
That hang the hallways of the home
C#m E
And the cries from the strangers out at night
A
They don't keep us up at night
B
We have the curtains drawn and closed
Chorus:
C#m E
We all are living in a dream
A
But life ain't what it seems
C#m
Oh, everything's a mess
C#m E
And all these sorrows I have seen
A
They lead me to believe
C#m
That everything's a mess
C#m
But I want to dream
E
I want to dream
A C#m
Leave me to dream
Instrumental: C#m E A C#m
Bridge:
C#m E
I know all your reasons
A C#m
To keep me from seeing, everything is actually a mess
C#m E
But now I am leaving
A C#m
Unless we're only dreaming, everything is actually a mess
Chorus:
C#m E
We all are living in a dream
A
But life ain't what it seems
C#m
Oh, everything's a mess
C#m E
And all these sorrows I have seen
A
They lead me to believe
C#m
That everything's a mess
C#m
But I want to dream
E
I want to dream
A C#m
Leave me to dream
