[Verse 1]
        Ab   Eb
I had a good dream-
Ab            Eb
   We built a home
   Ab           Eb
It was far from perfect
       Bb
But we made it our own

[Verse 2]
           Ab   Eb
We lived a good life
   Fm7      Fm Eb
We gave and we borrowed
   Ab              Eb
It was far from perfect
       Bb
But we made it our own

[Chorus]
     Ab          Eb              Ab          Eb
When everything around us changed, we felt okay
   Ab                   Eb           Bb
No learning curve could ever bend us too far out of shape

[Post-Chorus]
             Ab       Eb           Ab           Eb
When we took one step forward, and five steps behind
        Ab              Eb      Bb
We were still more than able to walk a straight line

[Verse 3]
         Ab           Eb
We had a white picket fence in the front yard
          Ab               Eb
Where our grass was plenty green
      Ab
Every window in our house
Eb              Bb
Welcomed in the sun's company

[Verse 4]
       Ab                  Eb
We had hardwood floors and unlocked doors
    Ab               Eb
Our glass was plenty full
           Ab              Eb
Though our bills were only barely met
    Bb
Our hearts were plenty whole

[Chorus]
     Ab          Eb              Ab          Eb
When everything around us changed, we felt okay
   Ab                   Eb           Bb
No learning curve could ever bend us too far out of shape
     Ab               Eb            Ab             Eb
When darkness was the price of light, we weren't afraid
        Ab                   Eb
For the time we've spent was more than worth
    Bb
Any interest that we've paid

[Bridge]
           Ab   Eb      Ab   Eb
We lived a good life, a good life
     Ab Eb        Bb
When my eyes were closed
           Ab                  Eb
Though the question marks were all the same
        Ab            Eb
And the burdens never left
           Ab
We gambled everything we loved
   Eb                    Bb
As though there was some kind of safety net

[Chorus]
     Ab          Eb              Ab          Eb
When everything around us changed, we felt okay
   Ab                   Eb           Bb
No learning curve could ever bend us too far out of shape
     Ab               Eb            Ab             Eb
When darkness was the price of light, we weren't afraid
        Ab                   Eb
For the time we've spent was more than worth
    Bb
Any interest that we've paid


[Interlude]
Ab Eb Ab Eb Ab Eb Bb

[Outro]
            Ab   Eb
And when my good dream
Ab           Eb
  Came to an end
Ab                  Eb       Bb
I woke up more than ready to bend
