Verse:
C#m E7
In the dark, and right on the middle mark
A
Just in the tear of everything
C#m
that rides below the surface
C#m E7
In the watch from a distant seventeen
A C#m
Surely otherʼs dreams of being golden and on top
C#m E7
Itʼs not, you should paint it in my head
E7
Thereʼs so much much there
A B
instead of all the colors that I saw
Chorus:
C#m E7
We all are living in a dream
A
But life ainʼt what it seems
C#m
Oh, everythingʼs a mess
C#m E7
And all these sorrows I have seen
A
They lead me to believe
C#m
That everythingʼs a mess
C#m
But I want to dream
E7
I want to dream
A C#m
Leave me to dream
Verse:
C#m E7
In the eyes of a teenage crystallized
A
Or the prettiest of lights
C#m
That hang the hallways of the home
C#m E7
And the cries from the strangers out at night
A
They donʼt keep us up at night
B
We have the curtains drawn and closed
Chorus:
C#m E7
We all are living in a dream
A
But life ainʼt what it seems
C#m
Oh, everythingʼs a mess
C#m E7
And all these sorrows I have seen
A
They lead me to believe
C#m
That everythingʼs a mess
C#m
But I want to dream
E7
I want to dream
A C#m
Leave me to dream
C#m E7 A C#m
Bridge:
C#m E7
I know all your reasons
A C#m
To keep me from seeing, everything is actually a mess
C#m E7
But now I am leaving
A C#m
Unless weʼre only dreaming, everything is actually a mess
Chorus:
C#m E7
We all are living in a dream
A
But life ainʼt what it seems
C#m
Oh, everythingʼs a mess
C#m E7
And all these sorrows I have seen
A
They lead me to believe
C#m
That everythingʼs a mess
C#m
But I want to dream
E7
I want to dream
A C#m
Leave me to dream
