C#m                                  E
In the dark and right on the middle mark
just in the tear of
A                                 C#m
Everything that rides bellow the surface
C#m                           E
and now from a distant seven-teen surely others
  A                            C#m
dreams have been golden and untouched
C#m                                E
it’s not just the pain here in my head
there’s so much there
    A                             B
instead of all the colors that I saw

Chorus:
   C#m                   E
We are all living in a dream
                    A
But ask as what it seems
                  C#m
Oh everything’s a mess
    C#m                       A
And all these sorrows I have seen
                   E
They lead me to believe
                    C#m
that everything’s a mess

              C#m            E
But I wanna dream, I wanna dream,
              A C#m
leave me to dream

In the eyes of a teenage crystallized
Oh, the prettiest of lights
that hang the hallways of the home
And the cries from the strangers out at night
They don't keep us up at night
We have the curtains drawn and closed

Chorus

But I wanna dream, I wanna dream,
leave me to dream

C#m
I know all your reasons
E
To keep me from seeing
A                         C#m
Everything is actually a mess
But now I am leaving
All of us were only dreaming
Everything is actually a messs

Chorus

But I wanna dream, I wanna dream,
leave me to dream
But I wanna dream, I wanna dream,
leave me to dream
