Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G][A]

[Verse 1]
Wish I was [D]down on some blue [C]bay[G]ou
With a bamboo [D]cane stuck in the [A]sand
But the road I'm [D]on, don't seem to [C]go [G]there
So I just [D]dream, keep on [A]being the way I [D]am

[Verse 2]
Wish I en[D]joyed what makes my [C]liv[G]ing
Did what I [D]do with a willin' [A]hand
Some would [D]run, but that ain't [C]like [G]me
So I just [D]dream
and keep on [A]bein' the way I [D]am

[Chorus 1]
The way I [G]am, don't fit my [D]shackles
The way I [A]am, reali[D]ty
I can almost see that bobber [C]danc[G]in'
So I just [D]dream, keep on [A]being the way I [D]am
[G][D][A][D]

[Chorus 2]
The way I [G]am, don't fit my [D]shackles
The way I [A]am, reali[D]ty
I can almost see that bobber [C]danc[G]in'
But I just [D]dream, keep on [A]being the way I [D]am
I just dream, keep on [A]bein' the way

[Outro 1]
[D](I [G]am)[D][G]
[Repeat and fade]
