                     A
They don't know the dream
                E
Between you and me
                  C#m                      B
Know they don't believe, it don't mean a thing
                             E
'Cause they don't know the dream

They don't know the love
That comes from up above
Burning like the sun, smokin' like a gun
'Cause they don't know the love

Chorus:
             A
We could be high
             E
We could be low
          F#m
Into the light
               B
Or out in the cold
             A
We could be right
                  C#m
Or right outta control
            B                    E
You are my heart and they don't know

'Cause they don't have the faith
Or baby what it takes
When it starts to break, they know how to hate
'Cause they don't have the faith

And when it comes to love
Yeah they know how to run
When it's all said and done,
you'll still be the one
So baby let 'em run

Chorus

                   A
Yeah we know the dream
                        E
And whats its meant to be
                 C#m                     B
And if its up to me, I'd rather take a swing
                          E
'Cause yeah we know the dream

Chorus

           G#m  F#m
You are my heart
                 E
And they don't know
           G#m  F#m
You are my heart
                 E
And they don't know
