[D]I had a [E]dream, [C#m]I got everything I [D]wanted.
[D]Not what you [E]think, [C#m]and if I’m being [D]honest.
It might have been a [D]nightmare. [E]
To anyone who [C#m]might care. [D]
[D]Thought I could [E]fly, [C#m]so I stepped off the [D]Golden.
[D]Nobody [E]cried [C#m]nobody even [D]noticed.
I saw them standing [D]right there. [E]
Kinda thought they [C#m]might care. [D]
[chorus]

But [D]when I wake up [E]I see, [C#m]you’re [D]with me.
And you [D]say…
[chorus]
As long as [E]I’m here, [C#m]no one can [D]hurt you.
[D]Don’t wanna [E]lie here, [C#m]but you can [D]learn to.
[D]If I could [E]change, the [C#]way that you [D]see yourself.
[D]You wouldn’t wonder [E]why you hear.
[C#m]”They don’t [D]deserve you.”
[Closing]
[D]I tried to [E]scream [C#m]but my head was under [D]water.
[D]They called me [E]weak.
[C#m]Like I’m not just somebody’s [D]daughter.
Could’ve been a [D]nightmare. [E]
But it felt like, they were [C#m]right there. [D]
And it [D]feels like yesterday was a [E]year ago.
[C#m]But I don’t wanna let [D]anybody know.
Cause [D]everybody wants something [E]from me now.
[C#m]And I don’t want [D]them down.
[chorus]
[D]I had a [E]dream, [C#m]I got everything I [D]wanted.

[D]You wouldn’t wonder [E]why you hear.
[C#m]”They don’t [D]deserve you.”
[chorus]
[D]If I knew it all [E]then, would I do it [C#m]again,
Would I do it [D]again, [D]if they knew what they [E]said,
Would go straight to my [C#m]head?
What would they say [D]instead?
[chorus]
[D]If I knew it all [E]then, would I do it [C#m]again,

Would go straight to my [C#m]head?
What would they say [D]instead?
