A Dream So Real
Dave Matthews Band
(Verse one)
Cm Eb
Falling Hard, falling fast
Cm F7
Somehow landing both feet on the ground
Fm7 G7
A dream so real, so inspired
Cm
I can still smell the smoke from the fire
(chorus one)
Cm Eb Cm F7
When I’m gone what I fear is the most unthinkable thing
Fm7 G7
That somehow I may never again feel my arms around you
Eb Gm7
Oh, when I’m gone and I’m lost too far away
Cm
Try to remember sometimes
A7
The way you laugh, the way you smile
Eb Ab Eb
The little things that keep me going
(verse two)
A little boy with broken arms
He used to dream that he could fly
A dream so real that he believed
And so he jumped from the top of the stairs
For a moment he was there
Arms spread wide as the sky
But then of course, the world pulled him down
Crash landing on the ground
(chorus Two)
Oh, when Im gone
Feeling lost, and far away
I try to remembers the times
Im gonna fall before I fly
The little things that keep me going
(verse three)
With every step if we were sure
Of what the next step should be
Well then at least we could be sure
Of how we ended up here
(break)
Cm Eb Cm F7 Fm7 G7
How we ended up here
(Repeat Chorus Two to end)
A Dream So Real was debuted during the Dave Matthews Band 2007 Summer tour. [played on a
few shows, then vanished. Matthews played this on piano, and I transcribed this from
is sheet music. Dave commented that this song had the flavor & feel of "sitting in a
French café..." Feel free to correct or comment... peace
