About the song
Have you ever had one of those nights where you just can’t sleep for
thinking of that special someone. Dreamlike World is about being in love
with a dream, someone not real, someone who exists only in your
imagination. Someone you have always been looking for but is not reality.
With someone who lives in a dreamlike would like that, they have trouble
distinguishing between reality and fantasy. That is the plight in
this song,
Dreamlike World. |
DREAMLIKE WORLD
BY PAUL SMITH
capo 2nd fret on 12string |
Introduction; C Em7 Am7 G Dm F G G C Em7 Am7 G Dm F G G
C Em7 Am7 G Dm F G G
I’ve been known to walk the streets, late at night, to make it right
C Em7 Am7 G Dm F G G
Thinking of my time with you, how yah set me straight, when, I was blue.
C Em7 Am7 G Dm F G G
But this just can’t be, in all honesty Despite how I feel, these dreams can’t be real.
C Em7 Am7 G Dm F G G
Still, Here you are, right in front of me, just look at you, oh please say it’s true
C Em7 Am7 G Dm F G G
That you’re not a dream, nor a fantasy, please say it’s true, that you’re here with me,
G7
Cause, (Chorus)
Am G Am G
I’ve been looking for you, I believe my whole life through.
Am G Am G G7
It’s a desperate thing yes it’s true, and it’s been breaking my heart in two.
C Em7 Am7 G F G G7
Please save me, Oh my sweet lady.
Sometimes I just can’t sleep at night, for thinking of you, I wish that you
knew, how it makes me feel, when these dreams are so real. Well,
it’s hard to believe, but please don’t you leave me alone here, in this dream-
like world, lost in loneliness, deep in this empty place. Cause,
(Chorus)
I’ve been looking for you; I believe my whole life through.
It’s a desperate thing yes it’s true, and it’s been breaking my heart in two.
Please save me, Oh my sweet lady.
Yeah, save me, Oh my sweet lady.
Hmm Hmm Hmm
Yeah, I’ve been known to walk the streets, late at night, to make it right.
While dreaming of my days with you, and there I go,
well I’m day dreaming too. But living in this dreamlike work when it just can’t be, well
that’s not for me. Still here you are right in front of me just look at you, Oh please say it’s
true. That you’re not a dream nor a fantasy, Oh please say it’s true, you’ll stay here with
me. Cause,
(Chorus)
I’ve been looking for you; I believe my whole life through.
It’s a desperate thing yes it’s true, and it’s been breaking my heart in two.
Please save me, Oh my sweet lady.
Yeah, save me, Oh my sweet lady.
Oh, save me. Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!
Please, please don’t go.
