Lyrics

(C)Sug ar.

(C)Sugar,

but ter,

Some (G)times I still see (C)her,

my (G)moth er the dream er.

She’d say, (G)“Noth ing’s im pos si ble, child.”

A (G)dream needs be liev ing

to (G)taste like the real thing.

Like some (G)strang er you rec og (C)nize.

(C)(So

pure.) So (G)pure, so e lec tric.

(C)(So

pure.) So (G)sure, so con nect ed

to those (G)lit tle be liev ers (Am)in side.

May we (C)all be

so (Cm)luck y.

But (G)dreams are e lu sive.

The kind (G)we’ve got ten used to is (C)noth ing I can feel.

Noth ing I can have.

Noth ing that I know.

Dreams (Am)come and they go.

But (G)hold them and keep them.

And (G)know that you need them.

When your (G)break ing point’s all that

you have,

a dream is a (Cmaj7)soft place to land.

May we (D)all be

so (C)luck y.

(C)Sug ar, but ter,

flour.
