Tonart: F# minor
Verse 1
Bb
We're going to take a chance.
Dm
Gosh, what a surprise, dude.
Bb
The other day, I was driving along
Dm
Bb
in my wife's car
Dm
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.
Bb
An d I had a bad thought.
Dm
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,
Bb
Dm
Bb
you know.

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

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