Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

x2):

Verse 1

Splashdown in the silver screen

Into a deep dram-atic scene

I swim through the theatre

Or maybe I'm just a dreamer!

Like a kite in the bright midday

Wonder stole my breath away

Shy sonata for Mercury

The stars always sing so pretty

Chorus

This picnic will soon depart

Real life, I'm sad to see you go

I'll miss you with all my heart

But I'd rather be alone

'Cause I couldn't live without

The sunsets that dazzle in the dusk

So I'll drag the anchor up

And rest assured, 'cause dreams don't turn to dust!

Dreams don't turn to dust

Verse 2

as verse 1):

I made for the countryside

And my eyes never grew so wide

Apple, raspberry, river blue

I don't wanna leave without you

In the sound I'll gladly drown

Into the emerald underground

And I rub my eyes 'cause it's hard to see

Surrounded by all this beauty

Chorus

This picnic will soon depart

Real life, I'm sad to see you go

I'll miss you with all my heart

But I'd rather be alone

'Cause I couldn't live without

The sunsets that dazzle in the dusk

So I'll drag the anchor up

And rest assured, 'cause dreams don't turn to dust!

Instrumental and vocals:

I'm sad to see you go

I'd rather be alone

Bridge

When tiger eyes begin making you blush!

When diamonds boast that they can't be crushed

Let 'em go 'cause dreams don't turn to dust!

Instrumental

x2):

Chorus

Dreams don't turn to dust

Dreams don't turn to dust

And rest assured cause dreams don't turn to dust!
