Intro : G  G  G  C  D  G

G                                        C        D  G
I don't want to be a poet, cause poets drown in lakes 
G                                       C     D          G
And I don't be a sinner and watch the devil dance at my wake. 
G                                         C     D   G
I just want to be a dreamer; a dreamer is wide awake 
G                                          C    D       G
And I just want to be a lover even if my heart has to break. 

         C                D                 G             Em
If only we could see the world through the new eyes of a child 
         C             D                    G             Em
If only every boy and girl could just stay beautiful and wild 
              C          D                G          D      Em
And there's probably no saving us, but I wrote this song to try 
               C
So let’s sing, la, la, la, la 
D       G   D  Em
La, la, la, la, la! 
C               D                   G
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la 

G                 
I don't want to be president, 
                          C        D    G
Cause I don't know which side to take 
G
And I don't want to be a fortune teller, 
        C          D       G
Cause that’s just tempting faith. 
G
And I just want to be a drop of water 
                C         D  G
Fall down in a storm of rain 
G
Living life in the deep blue sea 
     C        D   G
And rise back up again 

         C                D                 G             Em
If only we could see the world through the new eyes of a child 
         C             D                    G             Em
If only every boy and girl could just stay beautiful and wild 
              C          D                G          D      Em
And there's probably no saving us, but I wrote this song to try

D       G   D  Em
La, la, la, la, la! 
C               D                   G
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la 

              Em             D
We've got the same desires, burning fires 
C       G            D
In the middle of my songs. 
              Em                     D
But I'm your gold and silver, won't last forever, 
C                    D
So won't you let it go! 
G                                       C    D    G
Cause we were born to be dreamers, dreamers wide awake. 
G                                   C     D       G
We were born to be lovers even if hearts have to break. 


         C                D                 G             Em
If only we could see the world through the new eyes of a child 
         C             D                    G             Em
If only every boy and girl could just stay beautiful and wild 
              C          D                G          D      Em

D       G   D  Em
La, la, la, la, la! 
C               D                   G
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la 
               C
So let’s sing, la, la, la, la 
D       G   D  Em
La, la, la, la, la!
               C               D                G
So let’s sing, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
