A            E
I'm taking time away to dream,
           A                       D
I'm taking time out to clean up my room,
           A                      E
And when I clean up, my room will gleam,
               A                        N.C.
Because dreams aren't as unreal as they seem.
           A            E
I'm taking time away to dream,
           A         E  A
I'm taking time out.

[Verse 2]
       A                           E
Put my records in their covers and then
             A                      D
I'll put the albums back into their place,
         A                         E
And I'll sweep up this morning and when
              A                    D
I look at the clock, I see it says ten.
           A            E
I'm taking time away to dream,
           A         E  A
I'm taking time out.

[Refrain]
       D             A        D
Well I just can't be sure any more,
D                          A  D
I just can't be sure.
      D             A        D
No, I just can't be sure any more,
  E
I just can't be sure.

[Verse 3]
     A                     E
I'll pick up my pants even though
        A                       D
I might wear them, wear them today;
              A                 E
smooth out my covers on my bed so,
        A                                D
after I wash them I've got some place to go.
           A            E
I'm taking time away to dream,
           A         E  A
I'm taking time out.

[Refrain]
       D             A        D
Well I just can't be sure any more,
D                          A  D
I just can't be sure.
      D             A        D
No, I just can't be sure any more,
  E
I just can't be sure.

[Verse 4]
           A            E
I'm taking time away to dream,
           A                       D
I'm taking time out to clean up my room,
           A                      E
And when I clean up, my room will gleam,
               A                        D
Because dreams aren't as unreal as they seem.
           A            E
I'm taking time away to dream,
           A         E  A      A         E  A
I'm taking time out.
