Verse 1:
        Dm
I'm a troubled man, changed by the things I do
                Bb                   Am
True, but it's funny how they all remember you
                 Dm
It all could be different, time to do something new
           Gm                         Dm        A
And given everything, I want to be a happy man too
        Dm
Got to understand, blamed by the friends I lose
               Bb                       Am
Who's getting outta hand to think they depend on you?
                 Dm
It all could be different, time to do something new
           Gm                         Dm        A
And given everything, I want to be a happy man too

Chorus:
Dm                 C
  Buy yourself a dream, how's it looking?
G                 Bb        C
  Buy yourself a car and a house to live in
Dm                C
  Get yourself a girl, someone different
G                  Bb          C                 Dm
  Buy yourself a dream and it won't mean nothing

Verse 2:
       Dm
Gonna run it 'round, strange but it just won't do, no
           Bb                    Am
When it's coming down, taking a hold on you
                 Dm
It all could be different, try to do something new
           Gm                         Dm        Bb C
And given everything, I want to be a happy man too

Chorus:
Dm                 C
  Buy yourself a dream, how's it looking?
G                 Bb        C
  Buy yourself a car and a house to live in
Dm                C
  Get yourself a girl, someone different
G                  Bb          C
  Buy yourself a dream and it won't mean nothing

And given everything, I want to be a happy man too

Dm                 C

  Buy yourself a dream

Post-chorus:
 C     Dm
No, I won't let it tame or twist me
            Gm                    Bb
I just got told that I gotta move on
C      Dm
No, I won't let it tame or twist me

I just got told that I gotta move on
