Am               D               Am    D
You don’t understand my point of view
 Am                  D                       Am  D
That’s okay, you’ve got your version of the truth
   F                  G                 Am    D
Obsessed with humble poets and pointed shoes
 Am              D               Am  D
Crying out your tears into tangerines
  F                 G                Em
Climbing down your necklace to your lips
              G
Try to understand

Chorus:
                   Am G F
I’m sailing on a dream
 G               Em E
Bursting at the seams
                      Am  G  F
And you don’t have to hide away
      G               Em E
Come out and see the day
                   Am  D
I’m sailing on a dream

In my dreams I'm flying through Arabian skies
Crossing purple rivers to hidden goldmines
Try to understand

Chorus

  A# Am G
Dream
                   Dm C B A# Am G
Dream, dream, dream

Am G  F G
Sailing
       Em E
Let me go

And you don't have to hide away
Come out and see the day
I'm sailing on a dream
I'm sailing on a dream, yeah
