Continue Dreaming by Matt Nathanson





                        Continue Dreaming







Tuning: Standard Tuning, half-step down (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb), but you can
        easily just play it in standard tuning.  Nathanson plays a 12-string
        in the recording, and it sounds like there are two guitars, but the
        song sounds fine with just one 6-string.  Use a mixture of picking
        and strumming throughout.

Intro: |Asus2   |Dsus2   |E      |E      | x2

Asus2_______Dsus2_____________E_____________E
I shouldn't  need to wish that I am all      I am not
Asus2________Dsus2______________E____________E
I shouldn't   need to always    offer you my thoughts, but I do
Dsus2_____________E______________Asus2_______________Asus2
And I've opened myself up to the wrong and felt that pain
Dsus2_____________E______________Asus2____________Asus2
And I've opened myself all up to you and felt the same
_____________Dsus2____E_______________Asus2
Please don't explain,    let me continue dreaming


  |Dsus2   |E
___________________Continue Dreaming...

Asus2____________________________Dsus2_________E_____________Asus2
You understand what hurts me but I was the one who made that known
Asus2_______________________Dsus2______E
And now it seems my time is over and I need some time alone
Dsus2_____________E______________Asus2_______________Asus2
And I've opened myself up to the wrong and felt that pain
Dsus2_____________E______________Asus2____________Asus2
And I've opened myself all up to you and felt the same
_____________Dsus2____E_______________Asus2
Please don't explain, let me continue dreaming


  |Dsus2   |E
___________________Continue Dreaming...

Asus2
Why must I be affected
_______Dsus2______________E_____________________Asus2
by the words of those who know not what they've said
Asus2___________________________Dsus2
You're no longer someone I'll remember
____E
but someone I'll regret
Dsus2_____________E______________Asus2_______________Asus2
And I've opened myself up to the wrong and felt that pain
Dsus2_____________E______________Asus2____________Asus2
And I've opened myself all up to you and felt the same
_____________Dsus2_____________________E_______________Asus2
Please don't explain, Oh don't exlpain let me continue dreaming


  |Dsus2   |E
___________________Continue Dreaming...
