D                       G
It's a full moon at midnight
         Bm   A      D
Running fast out of time
D                             G
It's a feeling you can't describe
         Bm        A       D
Floating past the pale skyligh
D
And you look reflective,
but you're so disconnected
G
Just think about it
Bm            A        G
What's really on your mind
G    D                 Em
For you I would steal time
Suspicion, suspicion

Chorus:
D
You're a daydreamer oh oh
                        G
And it's the same thing over and over
 Bm            A       D
We're running for our lives
In a slip stream wo-oh
                 G
You wake up someday
and you realize
           Bm              A
you were dreaming all the life
        D
you forget
        G Bm
you forget

It's so affected
That color corrected night
But you're falling fast
Through plastic skies
And here you look reflective
So disconnected
It's not real life
Open your eyes and breathe
Everything's in its right place
But nothing gold can stay
Just tell me you know my face!

Chorus:
D
You're a daydreamer oh oh
                        G
And it's the same thing over and over
 Bm            A       D
We're running for our lives
In a slip stream wo-oh
                 G
You wake up someday
and you realize
           Bm              A
you were dreaming all the life
        F#m
you forget

  G                F#m
When the moon was high
    Em            F#m
You couldn't describe
     G        F#m
Our lucid skies
    A
We just might die
        Bm          D G Bm
But we feel so alive

Chorus:
You're a daydreamer
And it's the same thing
O-ver and over!
We're running for our lives
In a slipstream!
You'll wake up someday
And realize you were
Dreaming up a life
You forget!
