Intro : GGGCDGGCDG
I don't want to be a poet, cause poets drown in lakes
GCDG
And I don't be a sinner and watch the devil dance at my wake.
GCDG
I just want to be a dreamer; a dreamer is wide awake
GCDG
And I just want to be a lover even if my heart has to break.
CDGEm
If only we could see the world through the new eyes of a child
CDGEm
If only every boy and girl could just stay beautiful and wild
CDGDEm
And there's probably no saving us, but I wrote this song to try
C
So let’s sing, la, la, la, la
DGDEm
La, la, la, la, la!
CDG
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
G
I don't want to be president,
CDG
Cause I don't know which side to take
G
And I don't want to be a fortune teller,
CDG
Cause that’s just tempting faith.
G
And I just want to be a drop of water
CDG
Fall down in a storm of rain
G
Living life in the deep blue sea
CDG
And rise back up again
CDGEm
If only we could see the world through the new eyes of a child
CDGEm
If only every boy and girl could just stay beautiful and wild
CDGDEm
And there's probably no saving us, but I wrote this song to try
C
So let’s sing, la, la, la, la
DGDEm
La, la, la, la, la!
CDG
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
EmD
We've got the same desires, burning fires
CGD
In the middle of my songs.
EmD
But I'm your gold and silver, won't last forever,
CD
So won't you let it go!
GCDG
Cause we were born to be dreamers, dreamers wide awake.
GCDG
We were born to be lovers even if hearts have to break.
CDGEm
If only we could see the world through the new eyes of a child
CDGEm
If only every boy and girl could just stay beautiful and wild
CDGDEm

La, la, la, la, la!

So let’s sing, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
