[INTRO:] C Em C7 F C G F G C [VERSE 1:]
                  Em
You come to me in times of need

         C7            F
When you can't find anyone 

    C               G
You seem to be much better off now 

          F              G
There's a rainbow number one
[VERSE 2:]
         C                    Em
We could see life through the gutter then 

        C7                 F
Till it caused my heart to break 

          C                G
There was too much toil in dreamland 

    F        G       C
And too much love to take
[VERSE 3:]
              Em
Sometimes I remember when 

        C7                F
We were all dressed up in style 

  C                G
I don't recall the gist of it all 

        F                   G
But you drove the young men wild 
[VERSE 4:]
          C                   Em
You could wrap me around your finger 

       C7                 F
Til it caused my heart to break 

          C                G
There was too much toil in dreamland 

    F        G       C
And too much love to take
[CHORUS:]
                   Em
So, if you need me near you 

        C7           F
You can do it if you choose 

          C                G
There was too much toil in dreamland 

    F        G       C
And too much love to lose
[INSTRUMENTAL:] C Em C7 F C G F G C [VERSE 5:]
                        Em
You make me do what you want me to do 

         C7               F
Then you run the rules on me 

    C              G
You seem to be the wiser now 

         F                G
Could it be you've been deceived 
[VERSE 6:]
   C                  Em
Anytime you felt like trying 

          C7                F
You would cause my heart to break 

          C                G
There was too much toil in dreamland 

    F        G       C
And too much love at stake
[CHORUS:]
                   Em
So, if you need me near you now 

        C7           F
You can do it if you choose 

          C                G
There was too much toil in dreamland 

    F        G       C
And too much love to lose
