          Em
It isn’t enough
            D
To start a riot
             C
Distort the light beam
         Am
Until I like me
          Em
It isn’t enough
            G
If this is real life
                C
I’ll stick to dreaming
              Am
Come see what I see

        Em               D
Feeling like if this is life
              C        Am
I’m choosing fiction, ooh-oh, ooh-oh
         Em             G
Call it faith, call it fame
     C             Am
The fantasy’s the same

Chorus:
Em
When I’m dreaming tonight I can do anything
D
When I’m dreaming tonight I can go anywhere
C
When I’m dreaming tonight I can be anyone
Am                                 Em
So don’t wake me up, don’t wake me up
When I’m dreaming tonight I can do anything
G                    D
When I’m dreaming tonight I can go anywhere
C
When I’m dreaming tonight I can be anyone
Am
So don’t wake me up, don’t wake me up

Levelin' up
Delete my history
Choose how you see me
And the future's easier
Levelin' up
I'm here, I'm winnin'
Defeat the big boss
Game over, your loss

Feeling like
This ain't life
I'm choosin' fiction
Ooh woah, ooh woah
Call it faith
Call it fame
The fantasy's the same (So)

Chorus:
When I'm dreamin' tonight, I can do anything
When I'm dreamin' tonight, I can go anywhere
When I'm dreamin' tonight, I can be anyone
So don't wake me up, don't wake me up
When I'm dreamin' tonight, I can do anything
When I'm dreamin' tonight, I can go anywhere
When I'm dreamin' tonight, I can be anyone
So don't wake me up, don't wake me up

       D
Will I ever
       C
Will I ever
       Am
Will I ever
     Em
wake up?
Hope I never wake up
D
I never get tired,
C             Am
no nooo no-no no
              Em
no nooo no-no no

Chorus:
When I'm dreamin' tonight, I can do anything
When I'm dreamin' tonight, I can go anywhere
When I'm dreamin' tonight, I can be anyone
Don't wake me up, don't wake me up
When I'm dreamin' tonight, I can do anything
When I'm dreamin' tonight, I can go anywhere
When I'm dreamin' tonight, I can be anyone
So don't wake me up, don't wake me up
When I'm dreamin' tonight, I can do anything
When I'm dreamin' tonight, I can go anywhere
When I'm dreamin' tonight, I can be anyone
So don't wake me up, don't wake me up

Ooh, and when I'm dreamin', I can do anything
So here I go
