The Effects Of Suits And Ties On Dreamers by Lukulele Slim
The Effects Of Suits And Ties On Dreamers
[Intro]
F A# F C C7
[Verse 1]
F A#
Hey dreamer, I was once like you. Whimsy-ridin’ with the world as my muse.
F C C7
Kiss my baby every minute or two; throw caution to the wind and make my
own room.
F A#
I was gonna be a famous man; cheers and roses to the stage where I stand.
F C
Writing albums by the waves in the sand, then my best friend died and it
C7
changed my plans.
F A#
So I bought me a suit and tie; got a career where I work overtime.
F C
Pay my bills with the checks I write, then go to sleep early every single night.
[Chorus]
F Dm C F
You don’t know what you got ‘til what you got is gone.
F Dm C F
You don’t know what you’re getting ‘til you get what you think you want.
F Dm C F
I chased away somebody in an attempt to right a wrong.
F Dm C F
Looking back it seems I was right all along.
[Verse 2]
F A#
Hey dreamer, won’t you give me some space? I’m tired as hell and I’m full of
complaints.
F C
Sorry baby but the lovin’ can wait, ‘cause as long as time’s tickin’ then there’s
C7
money to make.
F A#
Gonna be a successful guy; work my way up on the company line.
F C
Pay my debt and buy a house of mine, then pay the debt back by when I’m 65.
F A#
You say darlin’, let’s go to the beach. I say I’d love to when my schedule is free.
F C
You turn away and throw your gaze at your feet, then I swivel back to the
C7
screen in front of me.
[Chorus]
F Dm C F
You don’t know what you got ‘til what you got is gone.
F Dm C F
You don’t know what you’re getting ‘til you get what you think you want.
F Dm C F
I chased away somebody in an attempt to right a wrong.
F Dm C F
Looking back it seems I was right all along.
[Verse 3]
F A#
Hey dreamer, now we’ve said goodbye. All my energy been thrown to the grind.
F C C7
Yours set upon the open-wide, but soon you’ll be headin’ back to Caroline.
F A#
I swear to somethin’ I’m an alright dude, even though I shook my head at you.
F C C7
I saw your playfulness and carefree groove, and brushed it all off as the folly of
youth.
F A#
But I think I wanna go to the beach. Burn my schedule with kindling.
F C
Take my suit off, throw it out to the sea. Then reacquaint myself with who I
C7
used to be.
[Chorus] 2x
F Dm C F
You don’t know what you got ‘til what you got is gone.
F Dm C F
You don’t know what you’re getting ‘til you get what you think you want.
F Dm C F
I chased away somebody in an attempt to right a wrong.
F Dm* C* F*
Looking back it seems I was right all along.
