      Dm            A#maj7
Well hello sir, we look for mondays,
 Dm             A#maj7
Confident we'll get there someday,
Dm              A#maj7       G
Pushing all the papers to a wealthy man,
Dm             A#maj7       Dm
Might I say, a beautiful tie   you wear,
    A#maj7         Dm
and how do you find
            A#maj7            G
such lovely polka dots and stripes these days?

F                                Am
Break all my thoughts hit the floor,
                     A#
like I'm makin the score,
                     C
I'm the king of the world,
               F
I'm a popular man
                   Am
count by zero's to ten,
                     A#
if you cant, well I can,
                    C
don't let any one wake me

Chorus:
                 F
I'm dreamin out loud,
             Am
dreamin out loud,
           A#                       C
and all at once its so familiar to see,
                 F
I'm dreamin out loud,
              Am
dreamin out loud,
             A#                  C
can't find a puzzle to fit into piece
           D
a part of me

Curtain calls and sanctuaries
Actors in the cloth, they freak me out
Mocking my purpose, in the magazines
Famous how they make you feel grand
They're always there to hold your hand
In times of trouble, they're best of friends

Break all my thoughts hit the floor
Like I'm making the score
I'm the king of the world
I'm a popular man
Count by zeros to ten
If you can't, well, I can
Don't let any one wake me

Chorus

A#maj7                   C6
they dont care what you say
                         A#maj7
they dont care what you think
                         C6
all they care, what you do,
                   A#maj7
long as you're of beat,
                    A7
take a look at yourself

Storm tries to come and wreck my world
No, I won't let it
Stumble to escape,
through anchored drapes, made of bedding

Chorus:
I'm dreaming out loud
Dreaming out loud
And all at once, so familiar it seems
I'm dreaming out loud
Dreaming out loud
Can't find a puzzle to fit into piece
I'm dreaming out loud, out lout
Can't find a puzzle to fit into piece of
apart of me, yeah

Well hello sir, we look for Mondays
