Lyrics

The pret ti est (Cmaj7)thing

I ev like er did a (B)see pic ture

was (C)light ning up on from the top one of a cloud,

(G)mov ing through the dark a mil lion miles an hour, it’s with heav y some (F)where to (C)be.

So why does it (Cmaj7)seem

I ev like er did a (B)see pic ture

that’s (C)hang ing up on from the some one el se’s wall?

(G)Late ly, I just have n’t been my self at all; it’s with heav y some (F)where to (C)be.

So why does it (F)on my (C)mind.

And I’m (Am)dream

(Bb)ing a gain,

like I’ve (Bb)al ways (F)been.

And (Am)’way

(Bb)down

low,

I still know

that the pret ti est (Cmaj7)thing

I ev er did (B)see

was (F)dust y as the han dle on the door,

(G)rust y as a nail stuck in the old pine floor.

It looks like (F)home to (C)me.

Now I’m (Am)dream

(Bb)ing a gain,

like I’ve (Bb)al ways (F)been.

And ’way (Bb)down

low,

I’m think ing of the pret ti est (Cmaj9)thing.

(Cmaj9)(Dream...)

(Cmaj9)thing.

(Cmaj9)(Dream...)
