VERSE
A
Harder, so I can love, love, love him
         E7#9
I tell myself
               
Well I'm gonna try, yeah
                     A
Just a little bit harder, So I won't lose, lose, lose him
          E7#9
To nobody else


CHORUS
          A
Hey! Well I don't care, how long it's gonna take you now
    B          D             A(high)
But if it's a dream I don't want it, no I don't really want it
B           D            A(high)      A(low)
If it's a dream I don't want, nobody to wake me.


Pre-Chorus

Rhythms are simple, varied. Listen to the song to get an idea, but its easy to 
play your own rhythms. Solos in the key of E.
