Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

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
