[E] [A] [G] [D]
[A]Ohhhh I think I’m landing
In a [D]world I hadn’t seen
When I’m [A]feeling ordinary
When I don’t [D]know what I mean!


[A]Oh I think I’m landing
Where there are [D]miracles at work
For the [A]first and for the hunger
Come the[D] conference of birds


And say it’s[A] true
It’s not what it[D] seems
Leave your [A]broken windows open
And in the [D]light just streams


And you get a [A]head
A head full of [D]dreams
You can [A]see the change you want to
Be what you [D]want to be


And you get a [A]head
A head full of [D]dreams
It’s a [A]laugh that’s just been spoken
With a [G]head full! a head[D] full of dreams![A] [D]


I sing [A]oh, I think I [D]landed
Where there are [D]miracles at work
Now you’ve [E]got me open [A]handed
Now you [D]got me lost for [A]words


[A] [D] [E] [C#m] [D] [A]
I sing ooh, ooh, oohoo, oooh,
A head full of dreams
[A]Ooohhh [D]oohh


It’s [E]enough
I’ve just been [E]spoken
With a [G]head full
A [D]head full of [A]dreams [D]
