A               E
I sit here everyday,
               F#m
Looking at the sky,
               E
Ever wondering why,
           D
I dream my dreams away,
                     E
And I'm living for today,
            A (repeat intro x1)
In my minds eye.

A                         E
Things are clearer than before,
               F#m
Showing me the way,
              E
Asking me to stay,
                     D
I'll never close the door,
                        E
To all these things and more,
            A  ------------------>    --------------------|-----------------|
In my minds eye.                      --2--3--2--2--3--2--|--2--3--2--2-----|

F#m                        A           G#m
Everybody I know says I'll change, yeh,
F#m
Laughing behind their hands,
                E  A    D  A
I think they're strange.

A                   E
People running everywhere,
                   F#m
Running through my life,
                  E
I couldn't give a care,
                      D
Because they'll never see
               E
All that I can see,
              A (repeat intro x1)
With my minds eye.

A               E
Aah - ha - ha - ha
           F#m
Aah - ha - ha
           E
Aah - ha - ha
           D
Aah - ha - ha
           E
Aah - ha - ha
               A (repeat intro x1)
Ha - ha - ha - ha.

      E
In my minds eye.

A               E
Aah - ha - ha - ha
           F#m
Aah - ha - ha
