Hello, hello, hello
Can I hear an echo
Purple red and yellow
I can't wait to get home
G
Head down on the pillow
Holding you is all I think about

You're asleep in London
I wish you were coming
Back home to me darling
You're too far away
G
Count back from one hundred
Holding you is all I think about

[Verse]
Dmaj7
Hello, hello, hello
Walking through a meadow
Full of sunflowers, picking 
off the pedals
G
I don't wanna wake up without
 you laying next to me

Yeah
Dmaj7
I'm no good at waiting
All the separation
Feeling suffocated
I just need to breathe
    G
And I'm starting to hate it
I can't wait to fall asleep

     Am7
Oh baby
                    B
When I'm apart from you

I just close my eyes
                  G    B
And all I have to do

[Chorus]

Is dream, dream, dream, dream
 G
About you
(About you, about you, 
about you, about you)

Dream, dream, dream, dream
 G
About you
(About you, about you, 
about you, about you)

About you
(About you, about you, 
about you, about you)

How to play Dream: key, chords and progression

Dream by Shawn Mendes is written in G major (one sharp: F♯) and moves through 9 chords: Dmaj7, G, Am7, B, Cmaj7, D, Gmaj7, F and C.

The backbone of the song is G – Dmaj7 – G – Am7 (I – Vmaj7 – I – ii7 in G major). In solfa, that is doh – soh – doh – reh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: B and F are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
