You Can Sleep While I Dream

• E

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
