            Bm    D
When I was younger
     G                    A          Bm D G A
You told me I should get my shit together
                    Bm     D
You said life is a painting
    G               A              Bm    D G A
But all your colors always bleed together
Bm D G                  A
Woo  all the times you said
                     Bm  D G A
I wasn’t just quite right
Bm D    G                    A
Woo and all I was trying to do
                  Bm   D G A
was search for a light

Chorus:
               Bm
When you said look for your
 D             G       A
sunshine it’s not there
Bm        D           G        A
I told myself that I don’t care
Bm            D       G     A
I found some new innovations
Bm             D       G    A
Might just be my imagination
                 Bm D G A
But people can dream

When I was younger
You told me I should get my shit together
Because life is a painting
But you ain’t trying to show me you ain’t clever
Woo for all the times you said
I wasn’t just quite right

Chorus

      Bm             D
In my dark days and night
G            A
It might’ve been just a dream
Bm        D
In these dark days and night
G        A
I’ll be more than what you see
Bm     D
In my dark there’s a light
G            A
It might’ve been just a dream
Bm        D
In these dark days and night
  G              A
(Dark days and night)

Chorus:
Oh when I was younger
You told me I should get my shit together
(People can dream)
When I was younger
So why your colors always bleed together
People can dream (Woo)
People can dream
People can dream (Woo)
