I'd r[E]ather be dreaming than living
Living's just too hard to do[F#]
It's ch[A]ances not choic[E]es
N[A]oises not voic[E]es
A day's just a thing to get thr[F#]ough
L[E]iving's just too hard to do
I'd r[E]ather be dreaming than talking
There's nothing to hear or to[F#] say
With e[A]ars covered mouth cl[E]osed
The w[A]orld is oppos[E]ed
Nothing gets in or aw[F#]ay
There's n[E]othing to hear or to say
[E] [F#] [A] [E] [A] [E] [F#] [E]
I'd r[E]ather be dreaming than thinking
Thoughts are small comfort to m[F#]e
Dre[A]ams might be pret[E]end
But [A]at least dreams [E]end
And I just can't stop thinking you s[F#]ee
Tho[E]ughts are small comfort to me
I'd r[E]ather be dreaming than sleeping
Just sleeping you're just as well[F#] dead
In dr[A]eams I can fl[E]y
In dr[A]eams I don't d[E]ie
That's why I lie here in this b[F#]ed
Just sleeping you're j[E]ust as well dead
I'd r[E]ather be dreaming
