Capo 1st Fret
Intro:
I refuse to say goodbye to you
Because you’ll never leave
You gave more to the world
G/f#
Than the world could receive
You portrayed the answer
G/f#
And the world closed its eyes
But I want you to know
That the dream lives on
Yeah the dream lives on
The dream that your life stood for
Is a cloud up in the sky
It follows us and is always here
And it imagines when we can’t imagine why
And even though you’re gone
Your journey is far from done
You only got into another car
And your new life has just begun
And everything happens for a reason
But I find myself reasoning
You deserve more peace
G/f#
Than anyone
And you spent you whole youth building
G/f#
The dream held in your eyes
But I want you to know
The dream lives on
Yes the dream lives on
The dream that your life stood for
Is a cloud up in the sky
It follows us and is always here
And it imagines when we cant imagine why
And even though you’re gone
Your journey is far from done
You only got into another car
And your new life has begun
Oh John
Oh John
The Dream was over
It was clear to see
G/f#
But you weren’t “The Dream”
And neither was she
Harmonica Solo
G/f#
G/f#
The dream that your life stood for
Is a cloud up in the sky
It follows us and is always here
And it imagines when we cant imagine why
And even though you’re gone
Your journey is far from done
You only got into another car
And your new life has begun
The press had called her ugly
And spit shit in your face
When all you asked is if love
G/f#
Could take the place of hate
I am still imagining and
G/f#
You’re not the only one
Nor will you ever be
But I want you to know
After you have showed
And as time grows
The dream lives on
