[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
