D Dmaj7
Paint me a boat, away I'll float
D Dmaj7
Into the stillness of a pure blue sky
Gmaj7 Dmaj7
There's nothing here to hold me now
Gmaj7 Dmaj7
And I got no more tears to cry

D Dmaj7
Grant me a wish, just one more kiss
D Dmaj7
Baby kiss me till the daylight's through
Gmaj7 Dmaj7
These are days of make believe
Gmaj7 Dmaj7
And there ain't nothing more a fool can do

Em G
Pin another dream on me

D Dmaj7
Sing me the truth sweet bird of youth
D Dmaj7
I got some trouble trying to understand
Gmaj7 Dmaj7
Beneath the veils of mystery
Gmaj7 Dmaj7
are these the movements of an unseen hand

D Dmaj7
Our arms are filled with sunken treasure
D Dmaj7
Our heads are filled with perfect sound
Gmaj7 Dmaj7
Do we truly see it, hey
Gmaj7 Dmaj7
Till we're placing it in the ground

Em G
Take just what you need from me
D Bm E Em
Cos tonight I'll dream about
Gmaj7 A G
Baby let's go walk away this time
