[D]
[Em] [D]
[Em] [D]
The cop is [Em] not happy, he is pessimistic.
[D]
[Em] [D]
As far as [Em] he sees, nothing's left in [D] the cab.
[E] [D]
A whole job full [E] of nothing for him to [D] wear.
[E] [D]
A voice full of [E] ambition, [Em] his love's head [D] shot up.
[E] [D] A singer, [Em] a writer, [D]
he's not [Em] dreaming now, he's going [D] nowhere.
He's beating [Em] himself, not [D] saying all that [E] he wants.
[D] So [F#] he goes to his [E] son, [Bm] now the stage gets [D] no [E] one.
[D]
And some men still [E] dance, [Em] cause they first got [D] there, [F#] there, [Em] there, [Bm] there.
[D]
The party [Em] is a straight [D] shot, he cries out [E] to God, oh just [D] nevermind.
The party's [Em] over, he's mad [D] now, he knows what [Em] he wants.
[A]
He [Em] smiles, [A] the love, [A] [E] his heart and [Em] his head is [A] on fire.
He's [Bm] not [A]
dreaming, he's not dreaming, he's not [B] dreaming.
[Em]
[D] He's not [Em]
dreaming, [D] he's [Em]
[D] [Em] not dreaming, [D] he's not dreaming.
[Em]
[D] [Em] He's [D] not [Em]
[D] [Em]
[D] [Em]
dreaming, [A] he's not dreaming, he's not dreaming.
