Intro : G G G C D G
G C D G
I don't want to be a poet, cause poets drown in lakes
G C D G
And I don't be a sinner and watch the devil dance at my wake.
G C D G
I just want to be a dreamer; a dreamer is wide awake
G C D G
And I just want to be a lover even if my heart has to break.
C D G Em
If only we could see the world through the new eyes of a child
C D G Em
If only every boy and girl could just stay beautiful and wild
C D G D Em
And there's probably no saving us, but I wrote this song to try
C
So let’s sing, la, la, la, la
D G D Em
La, la, la, la, la!
C D G
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
G
I don't want to be president,
C D G
Cause I don't know which side to take
G
And I don't want to be a fortune teller,
C D G
Cause that’s just tempting faith.
G
And I just want to be a drop of water
C D G
Fall down in a storm of rain
G
Living life in the deep blue sea
C D G
And rise back up again
C D G Em
If only we could see the world through the new eyes of a child
C D G Em
If only every boy and girl could just stay beautiful and wild
C D G D Em
And there's probably no saving us, but I wrote this song to try
C
So let’s sing, la, la, la, la
D G D Em
La, la, la, la, la!

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Em D
We've got the same desires, burning fires
C G D
In the middle of my songs.
Em D
But I'm your gold and silver, won't last forever,
C D
So won't you let it go!
G C D G
Cause we were born to be dreamers, dreamers wide awake.
G C D G
We were born to be lovers even if hearts have to break.
C D G Em
If only we could see the world through the new eyes of a child

If only every boy and girl could just stay beautiful and wild
