G A Bm G (throughout whole song)

G                     A
Never got love from a government man
                             Bm
Headin' downstream till the levee gives in
                          G
What can I do to get the money,
                                         G          A Bm G
We ain't got the money, we ain't gettin' out

Headin' downstream till the levee gives in
And my dreams are wearin' thin
All I need's relief, I need, I need some sympathy

G
Look at me, I just can't believe
              A
What they've done to me
                    Bm                G
We could never get free, I just wanna be

Look at me, I just can't believe
What they've done to me
We could never get free, I just wanna be
I just wanna dream

All my life been wadin' in
Water so deep now we gotta swim
Wonder will it ever end
How long how long till we have a friend

Comin' down, feelin' like a battery man
Waves won't break till the tide comes in
What will I do in the sunrise
What will I do without my dreams

Look at me, I just can't believe
What they've done to me
We could never get free, I just wanna be

Look at me, I just can't believe
What they've done to me
We could never get free, I just wanna be
I just wanna dream

We're all together in the same boat
I know you, you know me
Baby, you know me

We're all together in the same boat
I know you, you know me
Baby, you know me

Look at me, I just can't believe
What they've done to me
We could never get free, I just wanna be
I just wanna dream
I just wanna dream
I just wanna dream
I just wanna dream

Baby, you know me
