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?"
 
[Chorus]
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
 
[Chorus]
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
 
[Chorus]
E
(Hey, hey, hey) I feel the change a comin'
A
(Hey, hey, hey) See that train a comin'

[Chorus]
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
