[Opening]
[G] [Bm] [A] [Em]
[G]I am a light [Bm]sleeper, but [A]I am a heavy [Em]dreamer
[G]My imagination [Bm]gives me wings, and [A]I can go [Em]anywhere
[chorus]
And [G]when I wander away, to some other [Bm]place, I’m suddenly there, way up in the [A]air
Where passenger trains, catch fire and [Em]fill the sky with flames
And [G]that black rabbit of death, wakes up in a [Bm]breath of beautiful dreams
My heartache, it [A]seems so terribly vain, where fire and [Em]diamonds fall like rain
[chorus]
Do you [G]believe in endless miracles, do you [Bm]believe in the impossible
Do you [A]believe, sleep is a time [Em]machine
Do you [G]believe in curiosity, do you [Bm]believe in what you cannot see
Do you [A]believe, life is a lucid [Em]dream

[G]My imagination [Bm]gives me wings, and [A]I can go [Em]anywhere
[chorus]
