Dream Of You
View chords used in this chart
Intro C Am F G7
C
I had a dream about you last night
Am
At first I took it as a sign
F
Some things are better left alone
G7
So I told myself it's fine
C
Our time was short and sweet and simple
Am
Uncomplicated by the past
F
Exchanging words in points of quiet
G7
Unaware of who’d talk last
C
We gelled quickly and in seconds
Am
I thought that I'd known you for years
F
You'd think we’d have lasted longer
G7
But I wouldn't shed a tear
C
I had a dream about you last night
Am
Your figure warm and far away
F
I had a dream about you last night
G7
Eyes shut hoping you'd stay
C
But I think fondly of our time
Am
Exchanging laughs and songs alike
F
You were the sugar to my sour
G7
A sheer joy so childlike
C
And now I see from a distance
Am
I watch you flourish from afar
F
Sending thoughts and all well wishes
G7
Writing this song on my guitar
C
I had a dream about you last night
Am
Your figure warm and far away
F
I had a dream about you last night
G7
Eyes shut hoping you'd stay
C
And I still think about you sometimes
Am
Pondering what it could've been
F
But I would never trade the time we had
G7
For all of that was a win
C
I had a dream about you last night
Am
And you said your last goodbye
F
I woke up to wipe my tears
G7
Although I said I'd never cry
