Intro:
C#m E A C#m
Verse 1:
C#m E
In the dark, and I'm right on the middle mark
A C#m
I'm just in the tier of everything that rides below the surface
C#m E
And I watch from a distance seventeen
A C#m
And I'm short of the others' dreams of being golden and on top
C#m E
It's not what you painted in my head
A C#m
There's so 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 B
Oh everything's a mess
C#m E
And all these sorrows I have seen
A
They lead me to believe
C#m B
That everything's a mess
Post-Chorus:
C#m
But I wanna dream
E
I wanna dream
A C#m
Leave me to dream
Verse 2:
C#m E
In the eyes of a teenage crystallized
A C#m
Oh, the prettiest of lights 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
C#m
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 B
Oh everything's a mess
C#m E
And all these sorrows I have seen
A
They lead me to believe
C#m B
That everything's a mess
Post-Chorus:
C#m
But I wanna dream
E
I wanna dream
A C#m
Leave me to dream
C#m E A C#m
Bridge:
C#m E
I know all your reasons
A
To keep me from seeing
C#m
Everything is actually a mess
C#m E
But now I am leaving
A
All of us were only dreaming
C#m
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 B
Oh everything's a mess
C#m E
And all these sorrows I have seen
A
They lead me to believe
C#m B
That everything's a mess
Post-Chorus:
C#m
But I wanna dream
E
I wanna dream
A C#m
Leave me to dream
C#m
But I wanna dream
E
I wanna dream
A C#m
Leave me to dream
