Intro: E   A   F#m   A 

Verse: 

E                                              A 
You're boy sits down to write a song 'cause he thinks he's got something to say 
F#m                                             A 
Innocence thinks it can change the world but the world keeps getting in the way 
       E                               A 
It's a small list for the optimist who believes that he can fly 
     F#m                                      A 
In a long line full of pessimists to stop him every time he tries 

Bridge:

     C#m              A                      E 
Some people see things as they are and ask,'why?' 
Abm                  A              F#m                 B 
I dream things that never were, I take my shot and say, 'why not?' 

E (Hey, hey, hey) This one's for the dreamers A (Hey, hey, hey) Doubting disbelievers F#m Get out of my way I bend but I aint' breaking A Scared but I ain't shaking E Baby, you can sleep while I dream
Verse A Convicted by convictions, they were carving out your cross F#m A They came to take your measurements just to show you who's the boss Bridge: C#m A E Until I reach that promised land I won't stop Abm A F#m B When I get there I'll shake your hand so meet me on that mountaintop
E (Hey, hey, hey) This one's for the dreamers A (Hey, hey, hey) Doubting disbelievers F#m Get out of my way I bend but I aint' breaking A Scared but I ain't shaking E Baby, you can sleep while I dream (Hey, hey, hey) This one's for the breathing A (Hey, hey, hey) Forgotten and the bleeding F#m (Get out of my way) I may whisper but I'm screaming A I got angels, I got demons E Baby, you can sleep while I dream
Bridge: C E I'm not suggesting that you fly with me (Yeah, yeah) C E Well here's a dose of some reality (Yeah, yeah) Abm You're swinging at a change-up, boy you better shape up, C#m here comes the wrecking ball A C D E A F#m A Good morning, here's your wake-up call
E (Hey, hey, hey) I feel the change a comin' A (Hey, hey, hey) See that train a comin' E (Hey, hey, hey) This one's for the dreamers A (Hey, hey, hey) Doubting disbelievers F#m Get out of my way I bend but I aint' breaking A Scared but I ain't shaking E Baby, you can sleep while I dream (Hey, hey, hey) This one's for the breathing A (Hey, hey, hey) Forgotten and the bleeding F#m (Get out of my way) I may whisper but I'm screaming A I got angels, I got demons E A E A Baby, you can sleep while I dream, when I dream... and I dream... I dream... E (Hey, hey, hey) I can feel the change a come A (Hey, hey, hey) I see that train a coming E A Can you see it? E Baby, you can sleep while I dream
