A augmentedA    D MajorD      E MajorE      A augmentedA      D MajorD
I can't remember the dream that I had last night
   E MajorE      A augmentedA     D MajorD
But I woke with delight and excitement
  E MajorE      A augmentedA     D MajorD      E MajorE     A augmentedA      D MajorD
And then when I tried to remember the dream that I had last night
   E MajorE       A augmentedA     D MajorD     E MajorE
It was gone but the feeling I had in the dream stayed on

I can't remember the dream that I had last night
  E MajorE     A augmentedA      D MajorD     E MajorE      A augmentedA
If I could I would write it out, underline the highlights

Of the dream that would now redefine my life

Why can't I remember it
C#C#
when
 D MajorD
I can't
B minorBm
forget
D MajorD     E MajorE
unpleasant thoughts?
 C#C#    D MajorD     E MajorE
 I want to push them away
C#C#     D MajorD      B minorBm

like weeds they cover all the flowerbeds

I can't remember the dream that I had last night
 E MajorE     A augmentedA      D MajorD     E MajorE      A augmentedA
But the simple fact that my mind could concoct such a thing
 D MajorD     E MajorE          A augmentedA    D MajorD
As the incredible dream that I had last night
   E MajorE      A augmentedA    D MajorD        E MajorE
Is a clue to the key to a door to a world like that

A augmentedA     D MajorD      B minorBm     E MajorE
My daily life doesn't interest me
 F# minorF#m        B minorBm      D MajorD     C#C#
It's a never-ending litany of pain and ennui

Wish I could go live in the dream that I had
