Verse 1:
Am Am7/G D
The most familiar rose
B Em
Every implement was leading to you
C G
And your homely sense of dissaray
Dm
Never once the same
C C/B Am
Always rearranged
Am7/G D
But things would never change
B Em
In the seam between the window frame
C G
Where the jackals preyed on every soul
Dm
Where they tied you to a pole
C C/B G
And stripped you of your clothes
Chorus:
(G) C Bm
I was a dreamer
G C Bm
Staring out windows
G C Bm
Out onto the main street
Em C Bm
Cause that's where the dream goes
Verse 2:
Am Am7/G D
And each time they found fresh meat to chew
B Em
I would turn away and return to you
C G
You would offer me your unmade bed
Dm C
Feed me till I'm fed
C/B Am
And read me till I'm read
Am7/G D
But when the morning came
B Em
You would catch me at the window again
C G
In an eyes wide open sleeping state
Dm C
Staring into space
C/B G
With no look upon my face
Chorus:

(G) C Bm
I was a dreamer
G C Bm
Staring out windows
G C Bm
Out onto the main street
Em C Bm
Cause that's where the dream goes
Bridge:
C G
And when I got older
C G
When I grew bolder
Dm G
Out onto the streets I flew
C G
Released from your shackles
C G
I danced with the Jackals
Dm G
And learned a new way to move
Verse 3:
Am Am7/G D
So before you take this song as truth
B Em
You should wonder what I'm taking from you
C G
How I benefit from you being here
Dm C
Lending me your ears
C/B G
While I'm selling you my fears
(G) C Bm
I was a dreamer (I'm selling you my fears)
G C Bm
Staring out windows (I'm selling you my fears)
G C Bm
Out onto the main street (I'm selling you my fears)
Em C Bm
Cause that's where the dream goes (I'm selling you...)
G C Bm
I was a dreamer
G C Bm
Staring out windows
G C Bm
Out onto the main street
Em C Bm
Cause that's where the dream goes
