[Verse 1]
G                   C             G
I wake up laughing, thrown from a nightmare.
G                                           C
I come down standing when I'm tossed in the air.
C            G
Bright as Tijuana.
       C              G
Like a dose of Bella Donna.
        C               G
I could cry but I don't wanna.
                        Em Em D D
And the dream's lost on me.

[Verse 2]
G                        C             G
I come out shootin' when trouble comes knockin'.
G                              C
I greet bad news by sending it walkin'.
C             G
Happy or just crazy.
   C       G
Relaxed or lazy.
      C              G
Gonna keep my vision hazy.
                        Em Em D D
And the dream's lost on me.

[Bridge]
Em                         D
Cares are all buckshot and buffalo.
Em                D
Every dark has an afterglow.
Em                       D
I'm not afraid of what's down below.
Em                      D   D
I keep my sights on the sky.

[Verse 3]
G                   C             G
I wake up laughing, thrown from a nightmare.
G                                           C
I come down standing when I'm tossed in the air.
C            G
Bright as Tijuana.
       C              G
Like a dose of Bella Donna.
        C               G
I could cry but I don't wanna.
                        Em Em D D
And the dream's lost on me.
