[Intro] Dsus2 A A/F# E/G# x2 F#m7 E/G# A/D [Verse 1]
Dsus2            A           A/F#       E/G#
If these are the things that dreams are made of

F#m7        E/G#
Why don't I dream

   Dsus2            A           A/F#       E/G#
anymore?
Dsus2 A A/F# E/G#
Dsus2          A        A/F#        E/G#
I've tried to tell myself nothing's changed my dear

  Dsus2     A                A/F#              E/G#
But I look around me and think maybe that's not so

 Dsus2      A            A/F#           E/G#
I only have nightmares and wake up with cold sweat

D                 F#m7
Coming through my pores...

F#m7        E/G#
Why don't I dream
[Chorus]
   A/F#   D
anymore?    In the garden,

A  E
   all the trees bear fruit

 A/F#    D
         Better pick them up

A  E
   before they fall

A/F#    D
       I finally grab one

A  E
 I hold it in my hand

A/F#    D
     I open it up

     E             Dsus2
It's rotten to the core

F#m7        E/G#
Why don't I dream

   Dsus2            A           A/F#       E/G#
anymore?
Dsus2 A A/F# E/G# [Verse 2]
Dsus2            A           A/F#       E/G#
If these are the things that dreams are made of

F#m7        E/G#
Why don't I dream

   Dsus2    A      A/F#    E/G#
anymore?
Dsus2 A A/F# E/G#
   Dsus2    A
We lose our patience lose our trust.

 A/F#              E/G#
   Yes we lose our innocence

Dsus2      A
Forget our sorrow and hide our pain

A/F#          E/G#
   We lose old memories

    D                                   F#m7
But dreams are what life's worth living for

F#m7       F#m7         E/G#
      Ho I wish I could dream

     Dsus2    A      A/F#    E/G#
Once more
Dsus2 A A/F# E/G# [Chorus 2]
A/F#   D
        In the garden

A  E
   all the trees bear fruit

 A/F#    D
         Better pick them up

A  E
   before they fall

A/F#    D
       I finally grab one

A  E
 I hold it in my hand

A/F#    D
     I open it up

     E             Dsus2
It's rotten to the core

F#m7        E/G#
Why don't I dream

   Dsus2            A           A/F#       E/G#
anymore?
Dsus2 A A/F# E/G#
Dsus2            A           A/F#       E/G#
If these are the things that dreams are made of

Why don't I dream

   Dsus2    A      A/F#    E/G#
anymore?
Dsus2 A A/F# E/G# [Verse 3]
Dsus2          A        A/F#        E/G#
I've tried to tell myself It's all for the best my dear

  Dsus2     A                A/F#              E/G#
But I look around me and think maybe that's not so

 Dsus2      A            A/F#           E/G#
I only have nightmares and wake up with cold sweat

       D                          F#m7
Have I become as corrupt as all I abhor

F#m7        E/G#
Why don't I dream
[Chorus]
   A/F#   D
anymore?    In the garden,

A  E
   all the trees bear fruit

 A/F#    D
         Better pick them up

A  E
   before they fall

A/F#    D
       I finally grab one

A  E
 I hold it in my hand

A/F#    D
     I open it up

     E             Dsus2
It's rotten to the core

F#m7        E/G#
Why don't I dream

   Dsus2            A           A/F#       E/G#
anymore?
Dsus2 A A/F# E/G# x2
Dsus2            A           A/F#       E/G#
If these are the things that dreams are made of

Dsus2            A           A/F#       E/G#
If these are the things that dreams are made of
