G
Dick got the girl and he sailed around the world
Am         F                 G
Why not? What else have you got?
If you're not in the boat that hello
Am         F           G7
Love will give me the moon, whoops

Chorus:
 C          Dm     C   Dm
Way beyond these voices
     C       Dm  C   Dm
And out of the groove
C      G7             Dm                 G
In a dream, forever starts when you wake up
  Dm                 G Dm F
Starts when you wake up

Dick got the girl and he sailed around the world
What? Oh, yeah, sorry, around the world
Why not? What else has he got?
I don't know, and I know, I don't know
Love will give me the moon, oh dear

Chorus:
Far beyond these voices
And out of the groove
In a dream, forever starts when you wake up
Starts when you wake up
