[Verse 1]
D                  Am             C
 Splashdown in the silver screen
                 G
Into a deep dram-atic scene
D                   Am
 I swim through the theatre
   C             G 
Or maybe I'm just a dreamer
D                   Am            C
 Like a kite in the bright midday
                G
Wonder stole my breath away
D              Am
Shy sonata for Mercury
    C                G
The stars always sing so pretty


[Chorus]
A                 Bm           G
 This picnic will soon depart
               D                 
Real life, I'm sad to see you go
A                   Bm          
 I'll miss you with all my heart
    G            D     
But I'd rather be alone
A                  Bm            G
 'Cause I couldn't live without
                 D                  
The sunsets that dazzle in the dusk
A                 Bm
 So I'll drag the anchor up
    G                    A                         D  A  Em
And rest assured, 'cause dreams don't turn to dust
G                         D  A  C  G 
Dreams don't turn to dust


[Verse 2]
D                 Am
 I'm made for the countryside
C                  G
 And my eyes never grew so wide
D                 Am
Apple, raspberry, river blue
  C              G
I don't wanna leave without you
D                  Am      
 In the sound I'll gladly drown
C                 G
 Into the emerald underground
       D                      Am
And I rub my eyes 'cause it's hard to see
   C            G
Surrounded by all this beauty


[Chorus]
A                 Bm           G
 This picnic will soon depart
               D                 
Real life, I'm sad to see you go
A                   Bm          
 I'll miss you with all my heart
    G            D     
But I'd rather be alone
A                  Bm            G
 'Cause I couldn't live without
                 D                  
The sunsets that dazzle in the dusk
A                 Bm
 So I'll drag the anchor up
    G                    A                         
And rest assured, 'cause dreams don't turn to dust


[Interlude]

Em Bm A                         
        I'm sad to see you go
Em Bm     D              A
      I'd rather be alone 


[Bridge]
     Em               Bm         A
When tiger eyes begin making you blush
     Em                       Bm              
When diamonds boast that they can't be crushed
G                 A
Let 'em go 'cause dreams don't turn to dust

     And rest assured cause dreams don't turn to dust
