Capo 4

Verse 1:

C G Am G

I am giving up one of my dreams today

C G Am G

I found out I can't always get my way

C G Am G

And sometimes a dream isn't worth what you pay

C G Am G

So I'm giving up one of my dreams today

C G Am G

When we are children we look to the sky

C G Am G

We want everything, I'm afraid to ask why

Verse 2:

C G Am G

And I saw the sparkling fish in the sea

C G Am G

I dreamed I would find one who'd swim next to me

C G Am G

And this called love and it's worth every reason

C G Am G

Love is the cool and the warmth in each season

C G Am G

But how does one love and what does one do

C G Am G

When the dream that you have doesn't want to pick you

[Refrão]

C G Am G

But oh oh don't cry for me

C G D

It's just one dream less on my shoulder

C G Am G

And oh oh dad says giving up dreams

C G D

Is just a sign I'm getting older

Verse 3:

C G Am G

He was a stoner and I'm like a light

C G Am G

And when he would blaze I'd sing songs by his side

C G Am G

But my dream takes two strong hearts that will fight

C G Am G

And he doesn't dream, he just sleeps at night

[Refrão]

C G Am G

But oh oh don't cry for me

C G D

It's just one dream less on my shoulder

C G Am G

And oh oh dad says giving up dreams

C G D

Is just a sign I'm getting older

Verse 4

C G Am G

Oh they say to much smoking will change your taste

C G Am G

Maybe that's why he's kissing some other girls face

C G Am G

But I never dreamed of second place

C G Am G

So I'd rather just quit than continue to race

[Refrão]

C G Am G

But oh oh don't cry for me

C G D

It's just one dream less on my shoulder

C G Am G

And oh oh dad says giving up dreams

C G D

Is just a sign I'm getting older

C G Am G

And oh oh I am singing on stage

C G D

But it doesn't mean I know much better

G Am G

Oh oh oh oh, your probably like me

C G Am G

Some days dreaming and some days a quitter

Verse 5

C G Am G

I am giving up one of my dreams today

C G Am G

After I held him and begged him to stay

C G Am G

And after my dream will drown out to a whisper

C G Am G

After I've burnt all the photo booth pictures

Verse 6

C G Am G

And after I erased our names from the sky

C G Am G

Stopped wondering how and asking why

C G Am G

Oh I wish I had words to encourage inspire

C G Am G

But the truth is I'm ripped and I'm sad and I'm tired

C G Am G

I'm a loser in love and an abandoner of dreams

C G Am G

And today I have up the one for him, and me
