G            G                C    G
You sit with the man who threw it all away
        G            G               C      G      
And you dream of the birds that have flown away
        G             D            G    C     D
And you hope that you won't see it fall again 

                  G               C                 G     C
And you will sing day by day, old joy comes back to me
            G               C                 G     C
You'll sing day by day, old joy comes back to me 

    G               G           C            G
You say this is the life of the influence of dreams
G                    G          C             G 
Tall buildings and a wife won't be enough for me
         G           D           G          C       D 
There is more in the world to be found than dreams 



                  G               C                 G     C
And you will sing day by day, old joy comes back to me
            G               C                 G      C 
You'll sing day by day, old joy comes back to me 
           G           D    C               G           D   C  
Forget the things that get away, forget the things that get away
      G         D    C          G         D    C 
Don't dream of yesterday, don't dream of yesterday
