Things That Stop You Dreaming (Anniversary Edition Acoustic)

[Verse 1]
I got no money in my hand or my coat or my pocket
Won't get to space 'cause I haven't got a rocket
But I've air in my lungs, eyes in my sockets
And a heart that beats like a tap that leaks
In the night when you haven't got a plumber who can stop it
Jack in a box without a key to lock it

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, the boat may sink but I'm not gonna rock it
'Cause the sea doesn't know my name
Yeah, the boat may sink but I'm not gonna rock it
The sea doesn't know my name

[Chorus]
Well, if you can't get what you love
You learn to love the things you've got
If you can't be what you want
You learn to bе the things you're not
If you can't get what you need
You lеarn to need the things that stop you dreaming
Hey, all the things that stop you dreaming

[Verse 2]
Well, I got no one's word and nobody's promise
Not a lot to show but this book full of sonnets
And my liver may be fucked but my heart is honest
And my word is true like the sky is blue
In the summer time when everybody gets on it
Warm our skins and get sunburnt from it

[Pre-Chorus]
And our eyes shine bright like a sky full of comets
That shoot like silver trains
Yeah, our eyes shine bright like a sky full of comets
That shoot like silver trains

[Chorus]
Well, if you can't get what you love
You learn to love the things you've got
If you can't be what you want
You learn to be the things you're not
If you can't get what you need
You learn to need the things that stop you dreaming
Hey, all the things that stop you dreaming

[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
Well, if you can't get what you love
You learn to love the things you've got
If you can't be what you want
You learn to be the things you're not
If you can't get what you need
You learn to need the things that stop you dreaming
Hey, all the things that stop you dreaming
All the things that stop you dreaming
