      A                  Bm
I'd a dream that we were rock stars

         D/A                    G#dim
And that flash bulbs popped the air  

          C#m            Bm      D/E       A       Bm  D/E  
And girls fainted, every time we shook our hair.   
[Verse 2]
        A                  Bm
We were songbirds, we were Greek Gods

        D/A            G#dim
We were singled out by fate

        C#m           Bm        D/E    A       Bm  D/E  
We were quoted out of context - it was great.
[Chorus]
A            A/G#     F#m           D/A
Grander than castles, cathedrals or stars

             A        A/G#       F#m             D/A
             Riots in airports - everywhere that we go
(Electric guitars!)
C#m                Dmaj7/A           D/E  
Mascara meltdown - hysteria-a-go-go

             A        A/G#       F#m             D/A

[Verse 3]
       A             Bm
When I woke up I was laughing

          D/A           G#dim
Well what else was I to do

      C#m           Bm      D/E     A       Bm  D/E  
Every detail of the dream I had was true
[Verse 4]
        A                  Bm
We were songbirds, we were Greek Gods

        D/A            G#dim
We were singled out by fate

        C#m           Bm        D/E
