Dsus2     A    A/F#    E/G#
I've tried to tell myself nothing's changed my dear
 Dsus2   A        A/F#       E/G#
But I look around me and think maybe that's not so
 Dsus2   A      A/F#      E/G#
I only have nightmares and wake up with cold sweat

D         F#m7
Coming through my pores
F#m7    E/G#
Why don't I dream

🎸 Chorus:
  A/F#  D
anymore?  In the garden
A E
  all the trees bear fruit
 A/F#  D
     Better pick them up
A E
  before they fall
A/F#  D
    I finally grab one
A E
 I hold it in my hand
A/F#  D
   I open it up
   E       Dsus2
It's rotten to the core

F#m7    E/G#
Why don't I dream

  Dsus2  A
We lose our patience lose our trust.
 A/F#       E/G#
  Yes we lose our innocence
Dsus2   A
Forget our sorrow and hide our pain
A/F#     E/G#
  We lose old memories

  D                  F#m7
But dreams are what life's worth living for

I wish I could dream

Once more
