G 
Jimmy dreams he's a child to the end 
            C 
What a joy, when you are your best friend 
                D                             C 
The world's such a toy if you'll just stay a boy 
                         C/B    Am7     G 
You can spin it again and again 
 
Jimmy flies with no use for disguise 
Just escapes using mirrors and capes 
And the words do the trick, there is no bigger kick 
Than just rhyming again and again 
 
Em                                    D 
The smell of the low tide, the sound of the rain 
   C                                G                  
Traveling alone in my boat or my plane 
   Em                                  D 
Take it all in its as big as it seems 
    C                                        G 
Count all your blessings remember your dreams 
 
Jimmy stares towards the bright Pleiades 
Its so strange what his distant eye sees 
Who knows why you start rediscovering your heart 
But you do it again and again 
 
Jimmy dreams his a child to the end 
What a joy when you are your best friend 
The world's still a toy if just stay a boy 
And that's why Jimmy dreams 
 
 
 
 
Jimmy dreams,                he's a child to the end
