-----Verse I-----
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
I am giving up one of my dreams today
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
I found out I can't always get my way
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
And sometimes a dream isn't worth what you pay
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
So I'm giving up one of my dreams today
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
When we are children we look to the sky
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
We want everything, I'm afraid to ask why
-----Verse II-----
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
And I saw the sparkling fish in the sea
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
I dreamed I would find one who'd swim next to me
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
And this called love and it's worth every reason
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
Love is the cool and the warmth in each season
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
But how does one love and what does one do
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
When the dream that you have doesn't want to pick you
-----Chorus-----
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
But oh oh don't cry for me
C majorC G+G D MajorD
It's just one dream less on my shoulder
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
And oh oh dad says giving up dreams
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Is just a sign I'm getting older
-----Verse III-----
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
He was a stoner and I'm like a light
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
And when he would blaze I'd sing songs by his side
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
But my dream takes two strong hearts that will fight
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
And he doesn't dream, he just sleeps at night
-----Chorus-----
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
But oh oh don't cry for me
C majorC G+G D MajorD
It's just one dream less on my shoulder
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
And oh oh dad says giving up dreams
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Is just a sign I'm getting older
-----Verse IV-----
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
Oh they say to much smoking will change your taste
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
Maybe that's why he's kissing some other girls face
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
But I never dreamed of second place
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
So I'd rather just quit than continue to race
-----Chorus-----
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
But oh oh don't cry for me
C majorC G+G D MajorD
It's just one dream less on my shoulder
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
And oh oh dad says giving up dreams
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Is just a sign I'm getting older
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
And oh oh I am singing on stage
C majorC G+G D MajorD
But it doesn't mean I know much better
G+G A minorAm G+G
Oh oh oh oh, your probably like me
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
Some days dreaming and some days a quitter
-----Verse V-----
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
I am giving up one of my dreams today
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
After I held him and begged him to stay
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
And after my dream will drown out to a whisper
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
After I've burnt all the photo booth pictures
-----Verse VI-----
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
And after I erased our names from the sky
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
Stopped wondering how and asking why
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
Oh I wish I had words to encourage inspire
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
But the truth is I'm ripped and I'm sad and I'm tired
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
I'm a loser in love and an abandoner of dreams
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
And today I have up the one for him, and me
