 It's just dreaming on

D                                   
 One of these days we're lifting the haze 

 Trying to change our ways 
C 
 Caught in a dream, slipping upstream 

 Can't hear a word they say 

D 
 It's easy to see how it should be 

 When it's all in the past 
C 
 One of these days, all of these things 

 Will it make me laugh?

 You could be here, you could be there 
                              D 
 You could be anywhere you like

 You could be sleeping under the trees tonight

 See the black swan moving on

 It just keeps on moving on 

D                            C 
 One of these days, lift the haze 
                                 Bb 
 Find out we've been living in a maze 
                         A  G  D 
 It just keeps on moving on  
                                      D   C
