intro
[D] [D] [D] [D]
verse 1
[D] [C#] [A] [D] [Adim7]
I used to dream myself to somewhere else each night
[Adim7] [Em]
I dreamed in colour, 'cos I
[Gm6/A#] [A7] [D] [A/E]
lived in black and white.
[D/F#] [A#dim7] [Bm]
Until I chanced upon this road
[Bm] [Gmaj7] [D/A]
that led to you, I couldn't see
[D/A] [Em] [A]
How anything could be
Chorus
[D] [Em] [A]
Better than a dream
[F#m] [Bm] [Gmaj7] [Gm6] [D/F#]
Stranger than my wild imagination, If
[E/G#] [A]
this is a real sensation,
[A] [D] [F] [A#] [A]
it's better than a dream.
[D] [Em] [A]
Higher than the moon,
[F#m] [Bm] [Gmaj7] [Gm6] [D]
Hazy like a beautiful illusion.
[G#dim7] [A]
Crazy and in confusion,
[A] [D] [Em7] [F6] [Em7]
And better than a dream.
verse 2
[D] [C#] [A] [D]
I used to wish I was beyond some distant door,
[Adim7] [Em]
I knew there must be more to
[Gm6/A#] [A7] [D] [A/E]
life and now I'm sure.
[D/F#] [A#dim7]
No dreams of pirate caves, or
[Bm] [Gmaj7] [D/A]
Indian braves, or magic carpets could
[D/A] [Em] [A]
Ever be this good,
Chorus
[D] [Em] [A]
Better than a dream
[F#m] [Bm] [Gmaj7] [Gm6] [D/F#]
Stranger than my wild imagination, If
[E/G#] [A]
this is a real sensation,
[A] [D] [F] [A#] [A]
it's better than a dream.
[D] [Em] [A]
Higher than the moon,
[F#m] [Bm] [Gmaj7] [Gm6] [D]
Hazy like a beautiful illusion.
[G#dim7] [A]
Crazy and in confusion,
[A] [D] [Em7] [F6] [Em7]
And better than a dream.
N.C D
And better than a dream.
