            D          Em `  F#m    G(3rd fr)
There are dreams that sail away to sea
  D           Bm     C    A7
Dreams that stay at home
            D        Em      F#m  G(3rd fr)
There are dreams in need of company
 D   D/A    A     D
Some that stand alone
            Bm          A     G   A    D
There are dreams that stay inside all day
     G(3rd fr) D       A4    A
And never     see the light
 A#o     Bm        Bm/A#     Bm/A   E9/G#
And if dreams come true, I swear to you
       Gm6        A7          D
I'll dream of you tonight

D   Em  F#m  G(3rd fr)  D  Bm  C  A7

        D      Em      F#m    G(3rd fr)
In the corner bar the local star
     D      Bm       C     A7
Destroys a passing chord
    D      Em     F#m   G(3rd fr)
He sits behind a Mason jar
      D   D/A  A     D
And dreams of his reward
         Bm         A
Then he takes his break
    G(3rd fr)   A   D
He counts      his take
   G(3rd fr)  D      A4    A
A dollar     buys a beer
A#o Bm   Bm/A#   Bm/A    E9/G#
A quarter of his life is gone
 Gm6       A7    D
What's he doing here
     Am7         
Now times are hard
    D              G(3rd fr) G/F#    G/E   G/D
The old backyard is buried     in cement
     Em7    F#m7   Bm      Bm/A
The people seem afraid to dream
      Em          F#m    G(3rd fr)  A4   A
And dreams don't cost a ce----------nt

(D  Em  F#m  G(3rd fr)  D  Bm  C  A7  D  Em  F#m  G(3rd fr)  D  A7  D)

            Bm          A     G   A    D
There are dreams that stay inside all day
     G(3rd fr) D       A4      A
And never     see the light
A#o      Bm         Bm/A#    Bm/A   E9/G#
And if dreams come true, I swear to you
      Gm6      A7    D
I'll dream of you tonight
A#o      Bm        Bm/A#   Bm/A    Bm/G#
And if dreams come true, I swear to you
       Gm6     A7    D
I'll dream of you tonight
