Intro : G G G C D G G C D G I don't want to be a poet, cause poets drown in lakes G C D G And I don't be a sinner and watch the devil dance at my wake. G C D G I just want to be a dreamer; a dreamer is wide awake G C D G And I just want to be a lover even if my heart has to break. C D G Em If only we could see the world through the new eyes of a child C D G Em If only every boy and girl could just stay beautiful and wild C D G D Em And there's probably no saving us, but I wrote this song to try C So let’s sing, la, la, la, la D G D Em La, la, la, la, la! C D G La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la G I don't want to be president, C D G Cause I don't know which side to take G And I don't want to be a fortune teller, C D G Cause that’s just tempting faith. G And I just want to be a drop of water C D G Fall down in a storm of rain G Living life in the deep blue sea C D G And rise back up again C D G Em If only we could see the world through the new eyes of a child C D G Em If only every boy and girl could just stay beautiful and wild C D G D Em And there's probably no saving us, but I wrote this song to try C So let’s sing, la, la, la, la D G D Em La, la, la, la, la! C D G La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la Em D We've got the same desires, burning fires C G D In the middle of my songs. Em D But I'm your gold and silver, won't last forever, C D So won't you let it go! G C D G Cause we were born to be dreamers, dreamers wide awake. G C D G We were born to be lovers even if hearts have to break. C D G Em If only we could see the world through the new eyes of a child C D G Em If only every boy and girl could just stay beautiful and wild C D G D Em And there's probably no saving us, but I wrote this song to try C So let’s sing, la, la, la, la D G D Em La, la, la, la, la! C D G La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la C So let’s sing, la, la, la, la D G D Em La, la, la, la, la! C D G So let’s sing, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
