Lyrics

In the dark,

and I’m right on the mid dle mark;

I’m just in the tier of ev ’ry thing that rides be low the sur face.

And I watch

from a dis tance, sev en teen,

oh, the short of the oth ers’ dreams of be ing gol den and on top.

and It’s not

what you paint ed in my head;

they there’s so much there in stead of all the col ors that I saw.

We (C#m)all

are liv ing in a (E)dream,

but life ain’t what it (Amaj7)seems.

Oh, ev ’ry thing’s a mess.

And all

the sor rows I have (E)seen,

they lead me to be (Amaj7)lieve

that ev ’ry thing’s a mess.

But (C#m)I wan na dream,

I wan na dream;

leave me to dream.

In the eyes

of a teen age, crys tal lized,

oh, the pret ti the est of lights that hang the hall ways of the home;

and the cries

from the stran gers out at night,

they don’t keep us up at night; we have the cur tains drawn and closed.

We (C#m)all

are liv ing in a (E)dream,

but life ain’t what it (Amaj7)seems.

Oh, ev ’ry thing’s a mess.

And all

the sor rows I have (E)seen,

they lead me to be (Amaj7)lieve

that ev ’ry thing’s a mess.

But (C#m)I wan na dream,

I wan na dream;

leave me to dream.

In the eyes

(C#m)(Ooh,

(E)ooh,

oh,

(C#m)oh.)

I know all your rea sons to keep me from see ing (Amaj7)ev ’ry thing is ac tual ly a mess.

But now I am leav ing, out of this world re treat ing.

(Amaj9)Ev ’ry thing is ac tual ly a mess.

We

I wan na dream,

I wan na dream;

leave me to dream.
