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

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
                     F#
Nothing gets in or away
         E
There's nothing to hear or to say

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

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
                      E
Just sleeping you're just as well dead
     E
I'd rather be dreaming
