D#                A#m         C#
Splashdown in the silver screen
               G#
Into a deep dramatic scene
D#                  A#m
I swim through the theatre
    C#       G#
Or maybe I'm just a dreamer
D#                  A#m        C#
Like a kite in the bright midday
                 G#
Wonder stole my breath away
D#              A#m
Shy sonata for Mercury
     C#           G#
The stars always sing so pretty

Chorus:
A#               Cm         G#
This picnic will soon depart
               D#
Real life, I'm sad to see you go
A#                 Cm
I'll miss you with all my heart
    G#          D#
But I'd rather be alone
A#                Cm         G#
'Cause I couldn't live without
                  D#
The sunsets that dazzle in the dusk
A#               Cm
So I'll drag the anchor up
     G#                   A#
And rest assured, 'cause dreams don't turn to
 D# A# Fm
dust
G#                     D# A# C# G#
Dreams don't turn to dust

I made for the countryside
And my eyes never grew so wide
Apple raspberry river blue
I don't want to leave without you
In the sound I'll gladly drown
Into the emerald underground
I rub my eyes because it's hard to see
Surrounded by all this beauty

Chorus:
This picnic will soon depart
Real life, I'm sad to see you go
I'll miss you with all my heart
But I'd rather be alone
'Cause I couldn't live without
Sunsets that dazzle in the dusk
So I'll drag the anchor up
And rest assured, 'cause dreams don't turn to dust

Fm Cm A#
        I'm sad to see you go
Fm Cm     D#             A#
      I'd rather be alone

     Fm               Cm          A#
When tiger eyes begin making you blush
     Fm                        Cm
When diamonds boast that they can't be crushed
G#                 A#
Let 'em go 'cause dreams don't turn to dust

Chorus:
This picnic will soon depart
Real life, I'm sad to see you go
I'll miss you with all my heart
But I'd rather be alone
'Cause I couldn't live without
Sunsets that dazzle in the dusk
So I'll drag the anchor up
And rest assured, 'cause dreams don't turn to dust
[Outro]
Dreams don't turn to dust
Dreams don't turn to dust
I'll rest assured, 'cause dreams don't turn to dust!
