Verse:
Eb
They say times are hard for dreamers
 
But they won't be hard for me
              Ab Eb Cm   Bb Ab
I've saved up everything I  know
Eb
To take that step up beyond the lawn
 
Keep walking till I see the station
Ab  Eb   Cm  Bb Eb
And then see it go
 
Chorus:
Cm         Bb                     Ab
Inside the train, out through the glass
Bb
My finger tracing
Cm           Bb               Ab       Bb     Eb
All of these towns I've never heard of racing past
 
Verse:
Eb
Off the train in Paris, half a mile from Sacre-Coeur
           Ab Eb   Cm Bb  Ab
The city's waking up for me
Eb
a sign says an apartment's vacant on the second floor
           Ab Eb Cm   Bb Eb
And suddenly, I hold a key
 
Chorus:
Cm       Bb             Ab       Bb
I turn a lock, the rooms appear
Cm         Bb               Ab         Bb       Eb
And all it takes is one more step, and then I'm here!
                  Ab
Just me behind my door
                Eb                            Ab
It isn't what I have, it's only what I have in store
             Eb                     Ab
That matters now, the past can only fade
    Fm              Gm           Ab
And everything I'll ever need is here
        Bb                Eb
This is how the world gets made
 
Verse:
Eb
They say times are hard for dreamers
 
And who knows, maybe they are
            Ab     Eb Cm   Bb Ab
People seem stuck, or lost at sea
    Eb
And I might be a dreamer
 
But it's gotten me this far
            Ab  Eb Cm   Bb  Eb
And that is far enough for me
 
Chorus:
Cm          Bb               Ab       Bb
Look out my window there's a view, of other windows
Cm          Bb        Ab        Bb     Eb
My own museum full of paintings I look through
                    Ab
Where everything is clear
                 Eb                               Ab
It isn't where I am, it's only where I'll go from here
             Eb                Ab
That matters now, and I am not afraid
   Fm              Gm           Ab
As everything I'll ever need appears
        Bb                Eb
