A Little Dreaming

E | G#m | A | E ' ' B |
' | G#m | A | E ' ' B |
A little dreaming doesn't take you very far.
E | G#m | A
Not the same as hoping, or believing,
| B |
all depending who you are.
A | G#m | A | B |
Whatever happens is well within control.
E | G#m | A | E |
But, a little dreaming, what nourishes the soul.
' | G#m | A | E | |
A little dreaming.
' | G#m | A | E ' ' B |
I make my planning. Then I do it up again.
E | G#m | A | B |
What's in the doing, makes all the difference.
A | G#m | A | B |
And when it happens, I can get me on a roll.
E | G#m | A | E | ' ' ' B |
But, a little dreaming, what nourishes the soul.
G#m | C#m | A | E ' ' B |
And its like anything. Just a little, not too much.
G#m | C#m | A | B |
The sweetest taste of nectar, or a gentle welcome touch,
A | G#m | A | B |
A clutch of wild flowers arranged inside a bowl.
E | G#m | A | E |
A little dreaming, what nourishes the soul.
' | G#m | A | E ' ' B |
A little dreaming.
' | G#m | A | E ' ' B | E | G#m | A | B |
A | G#m | A | B |
A whole lot of wishing isn't chasing down a goal.
E | G#m | A | E |
But, a little dreaming, what nourishes the soul.
' | G#m | A | E
A little dreaming.

A7 | D | | Bm |
If I could turn, turn around tomorrow,
| F#m | | A |
Play a while longer, just to dry your eyes.
| D | | Bm |
If I could pull it back, pull back the sunset,
| F#m | | A |
Stay a little longer, before we say goodbye.

It might be a dream for when we wake.
A | G |
Wake up in the morning.
' | A | Bm | ' ' ' A |
Well if I'm dreaming why not try?
G | A | D A | G |
I'll pull it back. Pull back the sunset.

Pull back the sunset, hold off the night.

I would stay forever in this moment,

Dry your eyes. Hold onto this day.
G | A | D | |
Pull back the sunset so I can stay.
' | | Bm | | F#m | | A |
| G | A | D
And I'm coming back, I'll be back. If I can hold you,
A | G |
Only if you wait for me.
' | A | Bm | ' ' ' A |
So far away from me when I'm gone.
G | A | D A | G |
I'll pull it back. Pull back the sunset.
D A | G | A |
Pull back the sunset and fend off the dawn.
| D | | Bm |
Now dry your tears, and hold onto this moment.
| G | A | Bm | ' ' ' A |
Take my hand. Hold onto this day.
G | A | D |
Pull back the sunset, so I can stay.

This Living
by Adam Belsky, all rights reserved 2019
F | | C |
Soaking up another Monday Morning.
| G | |
Choking down another slice of humble pie.
F |
Fighting back another heap of something
| C | G |
Deep inside my windpipe, deep inside.
C |
Open up another can of something.
| G | |
Broken glass, a bunch of beer soaked cigarettes.
F |
Fishing for my keys inside my pockets,
| C | G |
I ain't found 'em yet.
CHORUS
F |
Listening to the raindrops tapping
| C | G |
Rhythm on the gutters 'fore the sunrise.
Dm |
Pulling back the window shade a moment,
| Am | G |
Take a peek in from the dark side.
C |
Woke up early and its Monday morning
| G | |
Hope I find my keys in this apartment.
F |
Hope I find a reason for this living,
| C | |
When no one says I can't.
F | | C | |
Hope I find a reason for this living.
' |
Breaking up another fifteen minutes.
| G | |
Shaking out another cornflake from the box.
F |
Stirring up another picture in the circles
| C | G |
In my tee shirt, in my socks.
C |
Waiting on familiar churchbells in the distance
| G | |
As the hands move quarter past.
F |
Hate to think about another Monday morning
| C | G |
That's starting like the last.
[CHORUS]

Dm | A7 | Bm | E |
A | C# |
Where has it gone?
D | E | A
Doesn't seem like its been longer than a long night.
| C# |
And now its gone.
D | E | Bm
If forever is a dream, then someone wake me.
| E | G#7 | D |
If I'm alone, I'll go back to dreaming.
Bm | Bm7 | E | |
There on my own, forever sleeping.
A | C# |
Where has it gone?
D | E | A | C# | D | E |
I can feel their arms around my shoulders.
A | C# |
I should have known.
D | E | A
I don't really feel a whole lot older,
| C# |
Up and grown.
D | E | Bm
Could it be a simple case of pure illusion?
| E | G#7 | D |
If I'm alone, I'll go back to dreaming.
Bm | Bm7 | E | |
There on my own, forever sleeping.
A | C# |
Where has it gone?
D | E | A | C# | D | E |
I can feel their arms around my shoulders.
C#m | A | C#m | G#7 |
I can taste it in my mouth. There across my lips.
Dm | A7 | Bm | E |
Somewhere in the air around me. Pressed against my finger tips.
A | C# |
And now its gone.
D | E | A | C# |
Open up my eyes I face the silence. Moving on.
D | E | A | C# | D |
I can feel their arms around my shoulders.
E | A | C# | D | E | A
Arms around my shoulders.

If I could let you know I would tie up a bow,

Tie up the sky and all the stars I'd bring you.

That I see before the long days, whatever you're doin'.

Whatever you're doin', whatever you're doin'. I hope I see you soon.
G | Bb C | F
I hope I see you soon.

Any Time I See Your Picture
by Adam Belsky, all rights reserved 2019
Em D |
G | Am | C
And I can make it on my own, and I can see my own way home.
| Em D |
But every time I see your picture,
G | Am | C |
It can hurt me like a stone 'fore its ever been thrown,
Em D |
Any time I see your picture.
Bm | C
And it hangs there in my dreams,
| Em | D |
High on a wall, or there in a corner.
Bm | C | Em | D |
It appears there on my screen. When I look away its on display.
G | Am | C
And its a long time you been gone, a long way moving on,
| Em D | G | Am | C |
But every time I see your picture.
Em D | G | |
Any time I see your picture.
' | Am | C
I can make my P's and Q's, pay my own dues
| Em D |
But every time I see your picture,
G | Am | C |
Its like a knock on the door comes to bring me more,
Em D |
Any time I see your picture.
Bm | C
Then I hand you my receipt,
| Em | D |
Open the package. Broken fragile pieces of my heart.
Bm | C | Em | D |
And its never been whole. Tiny reminders beyond my control.
G | Am | C
And its a long time you been gone, a long way moving on,
| Em D | G | Am | C |
But every time I see your picture.
Em D |
Any time I see your picture.
G | Am | C
Its a long time you been gone, a long way moving on,
Em D | G | Am | C
Every time I see your picture. I still see your picture,
| Em D | G | |
Its any time I see your picture.

Bunch of people trying to be different doing everything the same.
' | D | A | |
Making up a new set of rules. Playing the same game.

Maybe take a different path than been walked down before.
' | D | A | |
Bunch of people trying to be different doing everything the same.

Maybe take a different notice from the meaning of a word.

Placing all the best things in life inside a picture frame.

Sometimes there's a reason to question what you already know.
