    Dm                                        E        - D - E

    that my life would change forever,

    Am                                    Cm

    saw you standing there, I didn’t know I’d care,

    there was something special in the air.

 

    G                         B7                           Em         A7

Dreams are my reality, the only kind of real fantasy,

                C                     D7     Bm                Em

illusions are a common thing, I try to live in dreams,

     Am                                 F     - D

it seems as if it’s meant to be.

Dreams are my reality, a different kind of reality,

I dream of loving in the night, and loving seems alright,

      Am                 D7    C   - G

although it’s only fantasy.
