Sweet dreams of you

       C    D7     G7
Ev'ry night I go through.

     C          F            C      C/B   Am
Why can't I forget you and start my life anew

C            F     G    G7            C     F     C     G7
Instead of having sweet dreams about you?


 C         D7            G7
You don't love me, it's plain--

          C           D7           G7
I should know you'll never wear my name.

C         F            C    C/B     Am
I should hate you the whole night through

C           F      G     G7           C     F     C     G7
Instead of having sweet dreams about you.

Sweet dreams of you

Things I know can't come true.

Why can't I forget the past, start loving someone new
