Tonart: F# minor
Verse 1
Eb
We're going to take a chance.
Gm
Gosh, what a surprise, dude.
Eb
The other day, I was driving along
Gm
Eb
in my wife's car
Gm
with the kid in the back and
the kid's seat.
And sometimes when you're driving along,
it's just all sunny and great,
and sometimes you have bad thoughts.
Eb
An d I had a bad thought.
Gm
I thought, what if I see a wreck?
What if there's people out there?
What am I going to say to them?
And that made me start thinking,
how the hell do I explain the
whole thing to them?
Because lots of this
is very hard to make sense of,
Eb
Gm
Eb
you know.

Eb
How am I going to explain it to him?
Gm
What am I going to say?
Eb
But it's something that grim
F
How the hell do you tell
Eb
F
That comes an end?
Eb
F
How you gonna handle it
Eb
F
And still be that friend?
Gm
To all of the innocents
Eb
Brought to this place
Gm
These and other questions
Gm
And I'm not satisfied
Eb
With the answers I know
F
What are you go ing to say
Eb
F
Eb
F
To those eyes, I can't even get close
Eb
F
Gm
To those lies, easier to tell
Eb
If you just say oh well
Gm
I'll explain it when he's older
Eb
Somehow that's colder
Gm
Eb
Than I want to be
Cm
Bb
Ab
I am uncomfortable lying to a child
Bb
Cm
Feels like building a trap
Bb
Ab
for something wild
Bb
Cm
Bb
Ab
Feels like building a house on the sand
Bb
Cm
And expecting the ocean
Bb
Ab
to let it stand
Eb
up with better stuff
Gm
See, I'm just not satisfied
Eb
with all the simplified guff
F
That they shovel at the kids by the handful
Eb
F
The candy they buy at a stand for
Gm
The flags by the side of the road
Eb
Gm
Not good enough to handle that load of crap like they do
Eb

Verse 2
Eb
where I can tell them the truth
Gm
About everything from Jesus
Eb
to John Wilkes Booth
F
Eb
F
They lie in the house and the senate, too
Eb
F
Only get close to the truth
when it suits them, too
Gm
And the very next day,
Eb
Gm
Eb
they're back to lying that way
Gm
Of course it doesn't seem
Eb
to matter what I want
Gm
But I look at some of the faces,
Eb
all haggard and gone
F
And I wonder which thing made them
Eb
F
I'd lose the dream
Eb
F
It's mine, it's alive
Eb
F
Give me what you would see
Gm
And I would just like to be able
Gm
Without the light in those eyes
Gm
Eb
I wanna dream for him
Gm
I want a dream, dream, dream,
dream, dream, dream for him
Eb
I want a dream for him
