Standard (EADGBE)

 Oh don't you look at me that way

 I would be honest but I don't know how to say

 I've been lazy with my love

 Can't you give me a chance to make it up to you

x2

 I'm always chasing some far off dream

 My lady I know it's not easy for you to see

 But I've lied to myself

 And your lovelyness no it doesn't help

 No your beautiful smile don't help

My dreams are lies

That I have tried to ignore

My dreams fly me

 To a place near Baltimore

x2

 And I love this moment we're in

 Though we might never see this moment again

 May you find all that you need

 An easy way to forget about me

 May you forget about me

My dreams are lies

That I have tried to ignore

My dreams fly me

 To a place near Baltimore

x2

 And if I don't make it to the spring

 May you catch the joy that a melody brings

 From my dear brothers ragged six string

Singing the songs we're embarrassed to sing

 May you never be embarrassed to sing

My dreams are lies

That I have tried to ignore

My dreams fly me

 To a place near Baltimore
