[Verse 1]
      
I'm a dreamer 

by nature
             
And I've alway

           
s been tryin'
              
To dream mysel

              
f out of this 

             
world that I'm

   
 in
             
In my dreams I

              
 escape all th

             
e troubles aro

 
und
        
And it hasn't 

cost a penny
             
For the pleasu

               
res I've found

[Chorus]

What is the pa

rt

 today
             
Beggar, a bus'

ny parts
             
And I'm the fi

rst to agree
             
That I'm still

Looking for so

[Verse 3]

I'm a rich man

 in dreams
             
But in real li

          
fe I've hid
             
From the fact 

              
that I've got 

             
me a wife and 

   
a kid
     
If I lose what

 I've got
             
Then they lose

      
 it too
             
Tell me what i

 a poor dreame
