Intro: E   F#  A E A E  F#  E 

     E 
I'd rather be dreaming than living 
                            F# 
Living's just too hard to do 
       A              E 
It's chances not choices 
 A             E 
Noises not voices 
                               F# 
A day's just a thing to get through 
 E 
Living's just too hard to do 

     E 
I'd rather be dreaming than talking 
                             F# 
There's nothing to hear or to say 
      A                   E 
With ears covered mouth closed 
     A            E 
The world is opposed 
                     F# 
Nothing gets in or away 
         E 
There's nothing to hear or to say 

E   F#  A E A E  F#  E 

     E 
I'd rather be dreaming than thinking 
                               F# 
Thoughts are small comfort to me 
   A                E 
Dreams might be pretend 
    A               E 
But at least dreams end 
                                    F# 
And I just can't stop thinking you see 
   E 
Thoughts are small comfort to me 

     E 
I'd rather be dreaming than sleeping 
                                 F# 
Just sleeping you're just as well dead 
     A            E 
In dreams I can fly 
     A             E 
In dreams I don't die 
                               F# 
That's why I lie here in this bed 
                      E 
Just sleeping you're just as well dead 
     E 
I'd rather be dreaming
