I'd rather be dreaming than living
F#
Living's just too hard to do
A E
It's chances not choices
A E
Noises not voices
F#
A day's just a thing to get through
E
Living's just too hard to do
E
I'd rather be dreaming than talking
F#
There's nothing to hear or to say
A E
With ears covered mouth closed
A E
The world is opposed

Nothing gets in or away

There's nothing to hear or to say

E
I'd rather be dreaming than thinking
F#
Thoughts are small comfort to me
A E
Dreams might be pretend
A E
But at least dreams end
F#
And I just can't stop thinking you see
E
Thoughts are small comfort to me
E
I'd rather be dreaming than sleeping
F#
Just sleeping you're just as well dead
A E
In dreams I can fly
A E
In dreams I don't die
F#
That's why I lie here in this bed

Just sleeping you're just as well dead
