"Little Dreamer" by Future Islands, Album Version


Bb majorBb             Eb MajorEb
I caught you sleeping here, all wrapped in wool
G minorGm             FF
I caught you sleeping here, almost broke my heart
Bb majorBb             Eb MajorEb
I found you dreaming      I'm dreaming of you
G minorGm             FF
always           always

C minorCm Bb majorBb DmDm Eb MajorEb x2

Bb majorBb            Eb MajorEb
When I was just a child,  a lonely boy
G minorGm           FF
I held onto my dreams, like they could run from me
Bb majorBb             Eb MajorEb
The hopes I harbored fled,  as they often do
G minorGm             FF
But I still dreamed of you,  And now my dreams come true

C minorCm Bb majorBb DmDm Eb MajorEb x2

Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb G minorGm FF (solo, cue birds)

Bb majorBb            Eb MajorEb
And as we say goodnight,  I hold you close and tight
G minorGm          FF
No more raging suns, only waning ones
Bb majorBb          Eb MajorEb
Like the waxing scar where my lonely heart
G minorGm       FF
Once bloomed before I met

Bb majorBb         Eb MajorEb
you My little dreamer, I'll
 G minorGm       FF
always    Always dream of you

Repeat last two lines until fade.
