 Intro:
 E F# A E A E F# E 
         
      E                            
 I'd rather be dreaming than living
                             F# 
 Living's just too hard to do
        A              E 
 It's chances not choices
  A             E 
 Noises not voices
                                F#  
 A day's just a thing to get through
  E                          
 Living's just too hard to do
 
      E                             
 I'd rather be dreaming than talking
                              F#  
 There's nothing to hear or to say
       A                   E   
 With ears covered mouth closed
      A            E 
 The world is opposed
                      F# 
 Nothing gets in or away
          E                       
 There's nothing to hear or to say
 
 E F# A E A E F# E 
         
      E                              
 I'd rather be dreaming than thinking
                                F# 
 Thoughts are small comfort to me
    A                E  
 Dreams might be pretend
     A               E  
 But at least dreams end
                                     F# 
 And I just can't stop thinking you see
    E                            
 Thoughts are small comfort to me
 
      E                              
 I'd rather be dreaming than sleeping
                                  F#   
 Just sleeping you're just as well dead
      A            E 
 In dreams I can fly
      A             E 
 In dreams I don't die
                                F# 
 That's why I lie here in this bed
                       E               
 Just sleeping you're just as well dead
      E                
 I'd rather be dreaming
