[Verse 1]
C Am9
There was a boy I met in kindergarten.
Fmaj7 C
He was sweet. He said that I was smart.
Ab Eb/G
He was good at sports and people liked him.
Fm9 G7
And at nap time once we shared a mat...
G7 C2/F Am9
I didn't sleep; I sat and watched him breathing.
Fmaj7 C2
Watched him dream for nearly half an hour...
Abmaj7 Gmaj7
Ooooooooooooooooo....
N.C.
Then he woke up.
[Verse 2]
C/F Am9
He pulled a scab off one time playing kickball.
Fmaj7 C
Kissed me quick, then pressed it in my hand.
Abmaj7 Eb/G
I took that scab and put it in a locket.
Fm9 G7
All year long I wore near my heart.
C/E C2/F Am9
He didn't care if I was thin or pretty.
Fmaj7 C
And he was mine until we hit first grade.
Abmaj7 Gmaj7
Ooooooooooooooooo....
N.C.
Then he woke up.
[Chorus]
C2
Last night I dreamed
C2 C2/E
A horse with wings flew down into my homeroom.
Fmaj7 Bbmaj7
On its back there he sat
C2 C2/E
And he held out his arms
Fmaj7
So we sailed above the gym.
Em Am
Across the faculty parking lot;
Cm7/Bb Gm Eb
My kindergarten boyfriend and I...
G7
And a horse with wings...
[Verse 3]
C/E C/F Am9
Now we're all grown up and we know better.
Fmaj7 C
Now we recognise the way things are.
Abmaj7 Eb/G
Certain boys are just for kindergarten.
Fm9 G7sus4
Certain girls are meant to be alone...
C2/F Am9
But I believe that any dream worth having
Fmaj7 C2
Is a dream that should not have to end!
Abmaj7 Eb/G
So I'll build a dream that I can live in!
Fm9 G7sus4
And this time I'm never waking up!
[Chorus]
Bbmaj7 Fmaj7
And we'll soar above the trees!
C2 C2/E
Over cars and croquet lawns!
Fmaj7 Bbmaj7
Past the church, and the lake!
C2 C2/E
And the TriCounty Mall!
Bbmaj7 Fmaj7
We will fly through the dawn
Em Am
To a new kindergarten!
Cm7 Gm Eb
Where nap time is centuries long...
[Outro]
Abmaj7 Eb
Oooooooo....
Abmaj9 Eb
Oooooooo....
Fm11 Dbmaj7
Oooooooo....
