Am                       Am7/G
  Don't believe what you hear
F                       D7sus2
  Don't believe what you see
Am                       Am7/G
  If you just close your eyes
        F           D7sus2
You can feel the enemy

Am                     Am7/G
  When I first met you girl
          F          D7sus2
  You had fire in your soul
Am                   Am7/G
  What happened to your face
     F        D7sus2
  Of melting snow?

       C
Now it looks like this
    Am
And you can swallow, or you can spit
        F               G
You can throw it up, or choke on it
    Am
And you can dream

So dream out loud
    F              G                 Am
You know that our time is coming 'round
   F             G
So don't let the bastards grind you down

    Am            Am7/G
No, nothing makes sense
  F             D7sus2
Nothing seems to fit
  Am             Am7/G
I know you'd hit out
       F               D7sus2
If you only knew where to hit

    Am           Am7/G
And I'd join the movement
             F         D7sus2
If there was one I could believe in
         Am              Am7/G
Yeah I'd break bread and wine
                F           D7sus2
If there was a church I could receive in

         C
'cause I need it now
   Am
To take a cup, to fill it up
   F                      G
To drink it slow, I can't let you go
Am
I must be an acrobat
   F                   G
To talk like this, and act like that
    Am
And you can dream, so dream out loud
    F             G
And don't let the bastards grind you down

Oh, it hurts baby

Am
I must be an acrobat
   F                   G
To talk like this, and act like that
    Am
And you can dream, so dream out loud
    F                  G
And you can find, your own way out
Am
You can build, and I can will
    F                     G
And you can call, I can't wait until
Am
You can stash, and you can seize
   F                     G
In dreams begin, responsibilities
    Am
And I can love, and I can love
      F             G                Am
And I know that the tide is turning 'round
   F           G                  Am
So don't let the bastards grind you down
 F            G                  Am
So don't let the bastards grind you down
