G#             Cm
I am a light sleeper
    A#sus4         Fm
But I am a heavy dreamer
G#             Cm
My imagination gives me wings
    A#sus4       Fm
And I can go anywhere

      G#
And when I wander away
                Cm
To some other place
                                  A#sus4
I'm suddenly there, way up in the air
Where passenger trains, catch fire and
 Fm
fill the sky with flames
      G#
And that black rabbit of death
               Cm
Wakes up in a breath of beautiful dreams
                 A#sus4
My heartache, it seems so terribly vain
                Fm
Where fire and diamonds fall like rain

Chorus:
         G#
Do you believe in endless miracles
         Cm
Do you believe in the impossible
         A#sus4
Do you believe
                   Fm
Sleep is a time machine
         G#
Do you believe in curiosity
         Cm
Do you believe in what you cannot see
         A#sus4
Do you believe
                  Fm
Life is a lucid dream

                               G#
Oh, that's how you study the stars
                           Cm
That's how you study the stars
                                A#sus4
And that's how you know them by heart
                  Fm
Life is a lucid dream

Such is the path of a dreamer
I find my way by moonlight
My imagination gives me wings
And I can go anywhere

And when I wander away to some other place
I'm suddenly there, way up in the air
Where passenger trains catch fire
and fill the sky with flames
And that black rabbit of death wakes up in a breath
Of beautiful dreams, my heartache, it seems
So terribly vain, where fire and
diamonds fall like rain

Chorus

Well, that’s how you study the stars
That’s how you study the stars
And that’s how you know them by heart
Life is a lucid dream
Well, that’s how you study the stars
That’s how you study the stars
And that’s how you know them by heart
Life is a lucid dream

I am a light sleeper
But I am a heavy dreamer
