_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ I don't know [Bb] why I'm so close to [Eb] heaven
[Db] Lost somewhere by [Ab] the river
[Eb] Family pain _
Stuck in the [Bb] sand
Up [Eb] the road to the mall
Don't [Db] seem to know this
I [Eb] just dream and keep on being
The way I am
Where's the grace _
[Db] That makes my day
Do [Eb] I _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ get it [Eb] somewhat wrong
That [Db] I ain't [Ab] quite me
_ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _
[Eb] _ The way [Ab] I am _
[Eb] _ _ The [Bb] way I _ need [Eb] to be
I don't control those things
That [Db] bother [Ab] dancing
I [Eb] just dream and keep [Bb] on being
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ The way [Ab] I am
Up in [Eb] my sky
The way [Bb] I am
_ Really [Eb] I'll be
I don't control those things
That bother [Ab] dancing
I [Eb] just dream and keep [Bb] on being
The way [Eb] I am
Hey I'll be dreaming
You'll be dreaming
Dreaming I'll _ _ _
