Chords with lyrics

Verse:
A augmentedA
So I have this dream, it comes like twice in a week
E minorEm
It’s been so for years and years on repeat
G+G
And since then I’ve not had a full night of sleep
D MajorD
'Cause it plays out the same way
A augmentedA   D MajorD   DbmDbm            E minorEm
   I live with this girl and our kid
I’m as happy as a pig rolled in shit

G+G
It’s postcard, I’m settled, a pirate no more
D MajorD
A augmentedA gypsy at most with no mortgage
A augmentedA
It’s boring but in the most exquisite of ways
E minorEm
No carcinogenic and humdrum malaise
G+G
And it’s strange, all the things that I’ve run from
D MajorD
Are the things that completeness could come from

Verse 2:
A augmentedA
So anyways, we’re happy and impossibly so
E minorEm
It’s earth and it’s heaven, all simpatico
G+G
Floorboards laid out and the walls painted white
D MajorD
My dream self and I like the same things
A augmentedA
They’re all set to leave and I kiss them goodbye
E minorEm
They go and get groceries or something and I
G+G
A minorAm drinking alone in the basement
D MajorD
 And pray I’m not hallucinating

Chorus:
A augmentedA
Do not let this thing you got go to waste
E minorEm
Do not let your heart be dismayed
G+G
It’s here by some random disclosure of grace
D MajorD
From some vascular, great thing
A augmentedA
Let your life grow strong and sweet to the taste
E minorEm
'Cause the odds are completely insane

Do not let your spirit wane

In love, I am careful to mostly reserved
E minorEm
And this dream is a life I don’t think I deserve
G+G
My girl and our kid are impossibly bright
D MajorD
And I am just drunk in my basement
A augmentedA
See a car, see my girl and look at our kid
E minorEm
Approaching a corner, with rain and a skid
G+G
Then a phone call to me from the ICU ward
D MajorD
"Sir, I’m so sorry to say this”
A augmentedA
I’m walking alone through the hospital door
E minorEm
ID their bodies, collapse to the floor

Numb and relentlessly broken
D MajorD
Then I wake up the very next moment

Do not let your heart be dismayed
