            Dm (xx0231@1)                       GThere (320003@1)was a loophole in my dreamin, so I got out of it
       Am (x02210@1)                              FAnd (133211@1)to my surprise my eyes were wide and already open

     C (x32010@1)                               GSo (320003@1)I dressed myself and left them, out into the grey streets
    Dm (xx0231@1)                            GBut (320003@1)everything seemed different, completely new to me
    Am (x02210@1)                                FThe (133211@1)sky, the trees, houses, buildings, even my own body
         Dm (xx0231@1)                    GAnd (320003@1)each person I encountered, I couldn't wait to meet
      C (x32010@1)                       GAnd (320003@1)I came upon a doctor, who appeared in quite poor health
               Dm (xx0231@1)                                   GI (320003@1)said there's nothing that I can do for you that you can't do for yourself
            Am (x02210@1)                             FHe (133211@1)said "Oh yes you can just hold my hand, I think that that would help"
     Dm (xx0231@1)                        GSo (320003@1)I sat with him a while, and I asked him how he felt

He said "I think I'm cured. In fact I'm sure. Thank you stranger,
