Verse 1:

Am     Am/G    D  The most familiar rose 
 B                    EmEvery implement was leading to you 
           C                  GAnd your homely sense of dissaray 
                DmNever once the same 
C     C/B    AmAlways rearranged 
     Am/G          DBut things would never change 
B                         EmIn the seam between the window frame 
            C                      GWhere the jackals preyed on every soul 
                          DmWhere they tied you to a pole 
C      C/B                  GAnd 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      Am/G          DAnd each time they found fresh meat to chew 
B                       EmI would turn away and return to you 
            C                   GYou would offer me your unmade bed 
                  Dm    CFeed me till I'm fed   
        C/B           AmAnd read me till I'm read
     Am/G      D But when the morning came 
B                           EmYou would catch me at the window again 
        C                      GIn an eyes wide open sleeping state 
               Dm  CStaring into space
         C/B           GWith 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                GAnd when I got older
C             G When I grew bolder
Dm                       GOut onto the streets I flew 
C                    GReleased from your shackles 
C                   GI danced with the Jackals 
Dm                        GAnd learned a new way to move


Verse 3:

         Am    Am/G      D So before you take this song as truth 
B                             EmYou should wonder what I'm taking from you 
        C                     GHow I benefit from you being here 
                 Dm   C                     Lending me your ears 
           C/B             GWhile 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
