Barenaked Ladies – When You Dream (Guitar)

D                     A  
With life just begun, my sleeping new son

G                              D      A
Has eyes that roll back in his head

D                      A
They flutter and dart, he slows down his heart

G                             D      A
And pictures a world past his bed

Em          A
Its hard to believe

Em             A
As I watch you breathe

Em                   A
Your mind drifts and weaves

D 
When you dream,

                  A
What do you dream about? 

D
When you dream,

                  A
What do you dream about? 

       Em
Do you dream about

         G
Music or mathematics

   D                       A
Or planets too far for the eye? 

       Em
Do you dream about

         G      
Jesus or quantum mechanics

   D               A
Or angels who sing lullabies? 

D                          A
His fontanelle pulses with lives that hes lived

     G                      D        A
With memories hell learn to ignore

D                      A
And when it is closed, he already knows

    G                     D        A
Hes forgotten all he knew before

Em                  A
But when sleep sets in

Em        A
History begins

Em                  A
But the future will win

D 
When you dream,

                  A
What do you dream about? 

D
When you dream,

                  A
What do you dream about? 

         Em           
Are they colour or black and white,

G
Yiddish or english

   D                    A
Or languages not yet conceived? 

         Em 
Are they silent or boisterous? 

G 
Do you hear noises just

D                    A
Loud enough to be perceived? 

       Em                 
Do you hear del shannons 

G
runaway playing

   D                A
On transistor radio waves? 

Em
With so little experience,

G
Your mind not yet cognizant

D                            A
Are you wise beyond your few days? 

D 
When you dream,

                  A
What do you dream about? 

D
When you dream,

                  A
What do you dream about?
