Sun
        F#m
Shone down upon me
G        F#m
Felt so warm on me
         G                     A
Golden leaves hanging on the trees

Bm
So much
Sun
            F#m
The summer shimmer
G        F#m
I saw a glimmer
         G              A
I could be who I wanna be

            Bm
If I could dream
            F#m
If I could dream

If I could dream
             A
If I could dream

Chorus:
Oh, I wish I could dream that I could dream like
I used to dream
Oh, I wish I could be all the things that
I used to be
Oh, I wish I could dream that I could dream like
I used to dream
Oh, I wish I could be all the things that
I used to be

There was sun
Indica head rush
Bursting upon us
All my flaws layin' on the ground
In the sun
I'm not a stranger
Black-hearted angel
Oh, I hate when you're not around

Some days I feel somewhere else or somewhere
in between
Some days I don't feel a thing at all
Now, I'm pulling back the screen to let
the future in
The light comes flooding in
The light comes flooding in

Chorus:
Oh, I wish I could dream that I could dream like
I used to dream
Oh, I wish I could be all the things that
I used to be
Oh, I wish I could dream that I could dream like
I used to dream
Oh, I wish I could be all the things that
I used to be

When there was sun
When there was sun
When there was sun
There was sun

Some days I feel somewhere else or somewhere
in between
Some days I don't feel a thing at all
Now, I'm pulling back the screen to let
the future in
The light comes flooding in
The light comes flooding in

Chorus:
Oh, I wish I could dream that I could dream like
I used to dream
Oh, I wish I could be all the things that
I used to be
Oh, I wish I could dream that I could dream like
I used to dream
Oh, I wish I could be all the things that
I used to be

When there was sun
When there was sun
When there was sun
There was sun
