Lyrics

I close my eyes and I can see a world that’s wait ing up for me

that I (D)call from my own way

Through the dark, through the door, through where no one’s been be fore,

but it (D)feels like (C)home

They can say, they can (Em)say it all sounds cra zy

They can say, they can (Em)say I’ve lost my mind

I don’t care, I don’t (D)care, if so call me cra zy

We can live in a (Em)world that we de sign

’Cause (G)ev ’ry night I lie in bed the (D)bright est col ors fill my head A (Am)mil lion dreams are keep in’ me a wake

I (G)think of what the world could be, a (D)vi sion of the one I see A (Am)mil lion dreams is all it’s (G)gon na take

Oh, a (C)mil lion dreams for the world we’re gon na make

I There’s a house and we can build a Ev ’ry room in side is filled

that with (D)things from far a way

Spe cial things I com pile, each one there to make you smile

on a (D)rain y (C)day

They can say, they can (Em)say it all sounds cra zy

They can say, they can (Em)say we’ve lost our minds

I don’t care, I don’t (D)care if they call us cra zy

Run a way to a (Em)world that we de sign

’Cause (G)ev ’ry night I lie in bed the (D)bright est col ors fill my head A (Am)mil lion dreams are keep in’ me a wake

I (G)think of what the world could be, a (D)vi sion of the one I see A (Am)mil lion dreams is all it’s (G)gon na take

Oh, a (C)mil lion dreams for the world we’re gon na make

How ev er big, how ev er small, let me be (C#)part of it all

Share your dreams

with me

You may be right, you may be wrong, but say that you’ll (C#)bring me a long

to the (Am7)world you see,

To the world I close my (Cmaj9)eyes

to see, I close my (G)eyes

to see

’Cause (G)ev ’ry night I lie in bed the (D)bright est col ors fill my head A (Am)mil lion dreams are keep in’ me A mil lion dreams, a mil lion dreams I (G)think of what the world could be, a (D)vi sion of the one I see A (Am)mil lion dreams is all it’s (G)gon na take

A mil lion dreams for the world we’re gon na make

For the world we’re gon na make
