Beautiful and Strange (Acoustic)

Ask me who I'm gonna be in seventeen years

And I'll tell you a sweet little story

And it might be what you want to hear

But it's just pretend

Tell me who you want to see when you look in the mirror

And it might be something to fear

But I won't cry myself to sleep

Cause it's just pretend

Oh, we say all kinds of things to all kinds of people

Pretending that we have the reins

But it's all just one big leap of faith

To be living, breathing, dreaming

Oh, we say all kinds of things to all kinds of people

Pretending that we could rearrange

This breathtaking pattern of atoms that's beautiful and strange

Don't wake me I'm dreaming

Trouble coming up in space

And nothing you say

Will make it okay

He said it's mercury in retrograde

The space parade

Oh, we say all kinds of things to all kinds of people

Pretending that we have the reins

But it's all just one big leap of faith

To be living, breathing, dreaming

Oh, we say all kinds of things to all kinds of people

Pretending that we could rearrange

This breathtaking pattern of atoms that's beautiful and strange

Don't wake me I'm dreaming

Oh, we say all kinds of things to all kinds of people

Pretending that we have the reins

But it's all just one big leap of faith

To be living, breathing, dreaming

Oh, we say all kinds of things to all kinds of people

Pretending that we could rearrange

This breathtaking pattern of atoms that's beautiful and strange

(sha la, sha la, sha la)

That's beautiful and strange

Don't' wake me I'm dreaming
