Capo 4


Verse 1:

       C        G         Am      G 
I am giving up one of my dreams today 
     C          G          Am      G 
I found out I can't always get my way 
        C         G          Am             G 
And sometimes a dream isn't worth what you pay 
         C        G         Am      G 
So I'm giving up one of my dreams today 
  C            G         Am          G 
When we are children we look to the sky 
    C        G            Am          G 
We want everything, I'm afraid to ask why 

Verse 2: 

    C            G       Am          G 
And I saw the sparkling fish in the sea 
     C             G              Am          G 
I dreamed I would find one who'd swim next to me 
     C            G             Am          G 
And this called love and it's worth every reason 
  C          G             Am             G 
Love is the cool and the warmth in each season 
     C            G        Am           G 
But how does one love and what does one do 
           C             G            Am           G 
When the dream that you have doesn't want to pick you 


[Refrão]

     C  G       Am      G 
But oh oh don't cry for me 
       C             G            D 
It's just one dream less on my shoulder 
     C  G            Am         G          
And oh oh dad says giving up dreams 
     C          G            D 
Is just a sign I'm getting older 

Verse 3:

 C         G        Am           G 
He was a stoner and I'm like a light 
      C             G             Am           G 
And when he would blaze I'd sing songs by his side 
    C               G           Am               G 
But my dream takes two strong hearts that will fight 
    C            G             Am         G 
And he doesn't dream, he just sleeps at night 


[Refrão]

     C  G       Am      G 
But oh oh don't cry for me 
       C             G            D 
It's just one dream less on my shoulder 
     C  G            Am         G          
And oh oh dad says giving up dreams 
     C          G            D 
Is just a sign I'm getting older 


Verse 4
         C             G           Am          G 
Oh they say to much smoking will change your taste 
        C               G           Am          G 
Maybe that's why he's kissing some other girls face 
    C         G          Am     G 
But I never dreamed of second place 
         C          G           Am        G 
So I'd rather just quit than continue to race 


[Refrão]
 
     C  G       Am      G 
But oh oh don't cry for me 
       C             G            D 
It's just one dream less on my shoulder 
     C  G            Am         G          
And oh oh dad says giving up dreams 
     C          G            D 
Is just a sign I'm getting older 
    C   G        Am         G 
And oh oh I am singing on stage 
         C          G             D 
But it doesn't mean I know much better 
   G                 Am         G 
Oh oh oh oh, your probably like me 
      C       G         Am           G 
Some days dreaming and some days a quitter 

Verse 5 

        C       G          Am     G 
I am giving up one of my dreams today 
  C       G            Am           G 
After I held him and begged him to stay 
      C        G              Am         G 
And after my dream will drown out to a whisper 
  C          G            Am            G      
After I've burnt all the photo booth pictures 

Verse 6 

      C       G         Am             G 
And after I erased our names from the sky 
            C      G        Am    G 
Stopped wondering how and asking why 
       C          G         Am        G 
Oh I wish I had words to encourage inspire 
          C             G           Am            G 
But the truth is I'm ripped and I'm sad and I'm tired 
        C        G             Am         G 
I'm a loser in love and an abandoner of dreams 
      C          G              Am       G 
And today I have up the one for him, and me
