VERSE
 C                Am            Em           F                 G
Silly things like diamond rings fall between other things like you and I

   C              Am                 Em          F              G
We used to have a coffee pot we used it a lot to sit around and talk about 

C             Am                    Em              F                  G
everything we always want but we'll never get but a dreamer is still a dreamer

         C                     Am            
til you wake them up (...) and sit them down 

    Em                  F                 G
and explain to them The sky is up and the earth is down

        C                 Am                              Em
amongst other things like human beings they really aren't what they seem

         F              G
they'll lie to you and steal 


CHORUS
         Dm                    G
to get ahead of you and I'm afraid it't true
          F                                 G
when the world comes crashing down what are they to do?
              Dm                    G
And I'm not blaming you for being naive
     F                                 G7                Fm     
but now just close your eyes and start dreaming dreaming dreaming dreaming


VERSE
[ C - Am - Em - F - G ]

About candlelight forget about stupid fights
And it's funny to me I can't remember a single thing
that we fought about now that I'm alone but I guess that's how it goes
but I do remember every time that you kissed my neck oh I loved that the best
won't be getting none of those now that I'm an L.A. queen and away from you
but darling remember please that people lie and cheat and steal


CHORUS
[ Dm - G - F - G - Dm - G - F - G7 - Fm ]

to get ahead of you
And I'm afraid it's true
when the world comes crashing down what are they to do?
And I'm not blaming you for being naive
but now just close your eyes and start dreaming
dreaming dreaming dreaming


(Instrumental part)
[ C - Am - Em - F - G x2]


C                      Am
Darling come get your coffee pot
          Em
cause it hasn't been used
      F  G         C
since I last used you
