This is a really simple version. [Intro] F G C F C x2 [Verse 1]
F           G               C     F  C  
   It's the perfect time of year

F            G             C     F  C  
   Somewhere far away from here

F         G              C      F  C  
   I feel fine enough, I guess

F     G             C               F  C  
   Considering everything's a mess

F            G                   C       F  C  
   There's a restaurant down the street

F        G             C            F  C  
   Where hungry people like to eat

F          G                  C      F  C  
   I could walk but I'll just drive

D/F#                   F              G
   It's colder than it looks outside
[Chorus]
C                                  G
   It's like a dream, you try to remember but it's gone

        F                          D
Then you try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn

        C                       G                 F   G
When you try to see the world beyond your front door 

C                                G
   Take your time 'coz the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile 

        F                      D
When you realize that a guy my size might take a while 

       C                       G             F
Just to try to figure out what all this is for
[Verse 2]
F           G               C    F  C  
   It's the perfect time of day

F           G               C    F  C  
   To throw all your cares away

F          G                C     F  C  
   Put the sprinkler on the lawn

F      G                   C              F  C  
   And run through with my gym shorts on

F         G                    C     F  C  
   Take a drink right from the hose

F      G                C              F  C  
   And change into some drier clothes

F            G               C     F  C  
   Climb the stairs up to my room

D/F#               F          G
   Sleep away the afternoon
[Chorus]
C                                  G
   It's like a dream, you try to remember but it's gone

        F                          D
Then you try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn

        C                       G                 F   G
When you try to see the world beyond your front door

   Take your time 'coz the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile 

        F                      D
When you realize that a guy my size might take a while

[Bridge]
   G      Am G      F        G      Am G F
   Pinch me, pinch me, cause I'm still asleep 

   G       Am G     F G     Am        G
   Please God tell me that I'm still asleep 
[Verse 3]
F        G               C     F  C  
   On an evening such as this

F       G               C        F  C  
   It's hard to tell if I exist

F           G                  C     F  C  
   Packed a car and leave this town

F         G               C            F  C  
   Who'll notice that I'm not around?

F          G              C      F  C  
   I could hide out under there

F    G                  C           F  C  
   I just made you say 'underwear'

F          G                   C     F  C  
   I could leave but I'll just stay

D/F#                   F       G
   All my stuff's here anyway
[Chorus]
C                                  G
   It's like a dream, you try to remember but it's gone

        F                          D
Then you try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn

        C                       G                 F   G
When you try to see the world beyond your front door

   Take your time 'coz the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile 

        F                      D
When you realize that a guy my size might take a while
