I'm not sure if this is totally accurate. I may have simplified it a little, but it's a good baseline.

        Am7                                       C 
There was a boy I met in kindergarten 
   C                                            C 
He was sweet; he said that I was smart 
   G#                                   D# 
He was great at sports and people liked him 
  Fm                                    G7 
and at naptime once we shared a mat 
C                                                       G 
I didn’t sleep, I sat and watched him breathing 
C                                                       G 
watched him dream for nearly half an hour 

Cm G 
Oooh 
                        C  
Then he woke up. 

C 
He pulled a scab of once playing kickball 
F7                                                      C 
He kissed me quick and pressed it in my hand 
                G#                              A# 
I took that scab and put it in a locket 
        G#                                      G 
All year long I wore it near my heart 
C                                               F7 
He didn’t care if I was thin or pretty 
Em                                              G 
and he was mine until we hit first grade 


D# Gm 
Oooh… 
                C 
Then he woke up. 

                F 
Last night I dreamed 
                        Am              Em                      G 
a horse with wings flew down into my homeroom 
                Gm                      F 
On its back, there he sat 
                A7              G 
and he held out his arms 
        F 
So we sailed above the gym 
                Em              Am 
Across the faculty parking lot 
Gdim                    A#              G 
My kindergarten boyfriend and I 
   Gdim         G 
and a horse with wings 

C                                                       G 
Now we’re all grown up and we know better 
C                                                 Em 
Now we recognize the way things are 
   G#                                   A# 
certain boys are meant for kindergarten 
   G#                           G 
Certain girls are meant to be alone 
C 
But I believe that any dream worth having 
                                                G 
Is a dream that should not have to end 
    G#                                  A# 
so I’ll build a dream that I can live in 
        Fm                                G 
and this time I’m never waking up 

                A#                      F 
and we’ll soar above the trees 
        C                  G 
Over cars and croquet lawns 
                A# 
Past the church and the lake 
            G 
And the Tri County Mall 
    A#                  F 
We will fly through the dawn 
G        G#dim Am        
To a new kindergarten 
  Gm               F               Gdim 
Where naptime is centuries long
