Intro/Verse 1

Dreams,
They keep me awake
Like this song,
That is stuck in my brain
And it goes
"---|Dum-da-dum, da-dum, da-da-da-da-dum, da-dum, da-dum,
d---|a-dum, da-dum, dum, da-da-da, da-da-da-dum"

[Chorus]

So I stood in the heated halls and I played for the King and the Queen,
Oh I went out in the blistering cold and I played for the beggars and thieves

I saw the pain in their eyes fade away as they listened to me

[Verse 2] (played same as verse 1)

Dreams,
Oh listen to me
I'm so tired of this place
And I wanna be free

[Bridge]

And they say
"Oh don't you get it, You're never,
You're never going back home"
And they say
"Oh don't you get it,
There is more to life, there is more to life than I know"
