Chords with lyrics
Am G
There was a boy I met in kindergarten
C G
He was sweet; he said that I was smart
C Dm
He was good at sports and people liked him
F G7
and at naptime once we shared a mat
C G
I didn?t sleep, I sat and watched him breathing
C G
watched him dream for nearly half an hour
Cm G
Oooh
C
Then he woke up.
C G
He pulled a scab off once playing kickball
F C
He kissed me quick and pressed it in my hand
F A
I took that scab and put it in a locket
F G
All year long I wore it near my heart
C F7
He didn?t care if I was thin or pretty
Em C7
and he was mine until we hit first grade
Dm Gm
Oooh?
C
Then he woke up.
F
Last night I dreamed
Am Em G
a horse with wings, flew down into my homeroom
Gm F
On its back, there he sat
A7 G
and he held out his arms
F
So we sailed above the gym
Em Am
Across the faculty parking lot
G A G
My kindergarten boyfriend and I
G G
and a horse with wings
C G
Now we?re all grown up and we know better
C Em
Now we recognize the way things are
G A
certain boys are meant for kindergarten
G Gm
Certain girls are meant to be alone
C Em
But I believe that any dream worth having
G C7
Is a dream that should not have to end
Gm A
so I?ll build a dream that I can live in
F G
and this time I?m never waking up
A F
and we?ll soar above the trees
C G
Over cars and croquet lawns
Am G
Past the church and the lake
C C7
And the Tri County Mall
F G
We will fly through the dawn
G7 Am
To a new kindergarten
Gm F G
Where naptime is centuries long
G A D C
Oooh...
Dm Fm G C
Oooh...
Fm G7 C
