Notes
-
- Originally part of the abandoned Adult/Child album, this was finally released on the Good Vibrations box-set.
- Probably Brian's saddest song; the chorus "Still I dream of it, of that happy day when I can say I've fallen in love, and it haunts me so" is tear-inducing material.
- The big band sound and Brian's anguished vocal work very effectively here.

(original key: Eb)
..................D......................................Dmaj7............................................Dm7........Dm6
Time for supper now, day's been hard and I'm so tired I feel like eating now
...................D...................................Dmaj7.......................................................Dm7..........Dm6
Smell the kitchen now, hear the maid whistle a tune my thoughts are fleeting now
...........A7/G......G.............A7/G.....................G.......................Db/D......D......Db/D..D
Still I dream of it of that happy day when I can say I've fallen in love
.............Bm7............................F#m7...........................................................Em7.........Em7/A
And it haunts me so, like a dream that's somehow linked to all the stars above
.......................D.......................Dmaj7....................................................Dm7.......Dm6
Young and beautiful, like a tree that's just been planted I found life today
....................D............................Dmaj7..........................................Dm7............Dm6
I made mistakes today, will I ever learn the lessons that all come my way
D7..............................................................................D#dim
When I was younger my mother told me Jesus loved the world
Em7..................................................................................Fdim
And if that's true then why hasn't he helped me to find a girl
.........D/F#............D(#5)/F#
And find my world
..........G......................Em7(b5)
'Til then I'm just a dreamer
...............D.............................Dmaj7........................................Dm7.......Dm6
I'm convinced of it, the hypnosis of our minds can take us far away
.............D............................Dmaj7................................................Dm7..........Dm6
It's so easy now, you see someone up there high and heaven's here to stay
....................Dmaj7..Dm7
I'll find my world
....................Dmaj7..Dm7
I'll find my world
.....................................Dmaj7..Dm7
Someday I'll find my world
...........Dmaj7..........Dm7
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh
...................Dmaj7
Yeah yeah yeah
