E                          C#m   A
Things are looking up, oh finally!
               E                          C#m       A
I thought I'd never see the day when you smile at me.
           E                       C#m A
We always pull through oh when we try,
             E                     C#m A
I'm always wrong but you're never right.
              E
You're never right!

Chorus:
A      E
Honestly,
          C#m                   B                  A
can you believe we crossed the world while it's asleep?
            E      B
I'd never trade it in, cuz I've always wanted this!
A                   C#m    B
It's not a dream anymore! Ohhh..
A                   C#m               B
It's not a dream anymore! It’s worth fighting for.

Could've given up so easily
I was a few cheap shots away from the end of me
Taking for granted most everything
That I would have died for just yesterday
Just yesterday

Chorus:
Honestly
Can you believe we crossed the world while it's asleep?
I'll never trade it in 'cause I've always wanted this
And it's not a dream anymore
No, it's not a dream anymore
It's worth fighting for

God knows the world doesn't need another band
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
But what a waste it would've been
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
I can't believe we almost hung it up
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
We're just getting started!
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh

Chorus:
Honestly
Can you believe we crossed the world while it's asleep?
I'll never trade it in 'cause I've always wanted this
And it's not a dream anymore
No, it's not a dream anymore
No, it's not a dream anymore
No, it's not a dream anymore
It's worth fighting for

I can't believe we almost hung it up
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
We're just getting started!
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
I can't believe we almost hung it up
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
We're just getting started!
Yeah, we're just getting started!
