                 riff 1               riff 2
Well there's a dreamer in my dreams,
C
Swing from the beams,
          riff 1   riff 2        D
(With a) light shining off the snow.
                riff 1       riff 2
Well there's a singer in my heart,
C
Burning up the charts,
      riff 2       D             riff 2 x2
With songs about things we all know.
 
                 riff 1         riff 2
Well there's a blister on his brain,
C
That's driving him insane,
      riff 2   riff 2             D
Cause all good things they gotta go.
                 riff 1      riff 2
Well there's a child on the way,
C
It could be any day,
     riff 2              D                         riff 2 x2
But how this life will change him, that we don't know.

                 riff 1        riff 2
Well there's a child on the way,
C
He's gonna look a lot like him
         riff 2          riff 2             D   riff 3
And one day, he's gonna say, "Ain't you my dad?"
                 riff 1         riff 2
Then he's gonna look down and smile,
C
and after awhile,
              riff 2        D                 riff 2 x2
He'll say, "That's for sure, cause you got my eyes."

He's hanging from a beam,

            riff 1        riff 2
There's a dreamer in my dreams,
C
Swinging from the beams,
        riff 1   riff 2       D
With a light shining off the lake.
          riff 1        riff 2
Well, I know I made mistakes,
C
I'm passing then all on.
       riff 2   D             riff 2 x2
But I hope he gets up before dawn.
 
All right.
riff 1   riff 2 x ~12
 
Yeah, that's it.
 
                 riff 1        riff 2
Well there's a dreamer in my dreams,
C
Climbing up the back,
      riff 1           riff 2      D
Of a car they used to call a Cadillac.
             riff 1          riff 2
It's got a brand new set of keys,
C
It's got a new look, it's got a new look,
riff 2            D                        riff 2 x2
And he's gonna... he's gonna take it all away.
I believe it...

                 riff 1        riff 2
Well there's a dreamer in my dreams,
C
Swinging from the beams,
riff 1      riff 2      D
All wrapped up in my garage.
      riff 1         riff 2
He's hanging from a bell,
C
He don't know what he's done,
riff 2           D                          riff 2 x2
Just don't forget to day goodbye when he's gone.  That's it.
