Verse 1
[A]I don't know
But it seems that every single dream's
[Bm]Painted pretty pictures in the air
[D]And it [E]tumbles in despair
[F#m]And it starts to bend
[G]Until by the [A]end its a nightmare
Chorus
[Bm]I'm gonna [E]give all [A]I've got to [F#m]give
[A]Cross my [F#m]heart, [C]and I [G]hope to [A]live
Verse 2
[A]I don't know
But it's true, so many things you do
[D]Please you so they [E]leave feeling warm
[F#m]It's the calm before the storm
[G]For the habit grows and before you [A]know it you're deformed
Chorus
[Bm]I'm gonna [E]give all [A]I've got to [F#m]give

Verse 3
[A]I don't know
But I see that every thing is free
[D]When you're young and [E]treasures you can take
[F#m]But the bridge is gonna break
[G]You reach the end screaming
[A]"It's all been a mistake"

Verse 4
[A]I don't know
But it seems that every single dream's
[Bm]Painted pretty pictures in the air
[D]And it [E]tumbles in despair
[F#m]And it starts to bend

Chorus
[Bm]I'm gonna [E]give all [A]I've got to [F#m]give
[A]Cross my [F#m]heart, [C]and I [G]hope to [A]live
