A               D    G               F#m
While in these days   of quiet desperation
     Bm                  Bm7            E    E
As I wander through the world in which I live
         G               A            Bm  Bm7 
I search everywhere for some new inspiration
          E               E         Em7
But it's more than cold reality can give
A7    D  G              F#m
If I need  a cause for celebration
      Bm            Bm7             E   E
Or a comfort I can use to ease my mind
     G     A       Bm  Bm7 
I rely on my imagination
        E           E        A9sus4
And I dream of an imaginary time
   A7        A9sus4
Oh oh, now I know that

Chorus:
D         F#m7    G
Everybody has a dream
D         F#m7    G
Everybody has a dream
D         F#m7    G
Everybody has a dream
     F#m        Bm     G  F#m
And this is my dream, my own
F#7     Bm G  F#m
Just to be at home
F#7    Bm G     F#m D7    Em7 A9sus4
And to be all alone  with you

If I believe in all the words I'm saying
And if a word from you can bring a better day
Then all I have are these games that
I've been playing
To keep my hope from crumbling away
So let me lie and let me go on sleeping
And I will lose myself in palaces of sand
And all the fantasies that I will be keeping
Will make the empty hours easier, easier to stand

Chorus:
And I know that everybody has a dream
Everybody has a dream
Everybody has a dream
And this is my dream, my own
Just to be at home
And to be all alone
All alone with you, oh
With you

I know that everybody has a dream
Oh, everybody has a dream
And I know everybody has a dream
Everybody, everybody, everybody
(Everybody has a dream)
I know that everybody has a dream
(Everybody has a dream)
Everybody has a dream
