[Verse 1]
DWhen I was a boy
BbHardly more than 1A0 years old
DMy family moved to a BbsmalltowAn
And I Dwas destroyed leaving aBbll my friends behinAd
And if I Dhad the choice we'd have sGtayed put
It's only Gmnow I can see
Sometimes Ga little change can be Agood
[Verse 2]
DAt the end of the block
BbThe ramshackle dAiner stood
My Dafter school spot just to Bbpass tAime
Where DI met a girl nearly Bbthree times my aAge
Aut still she Dpainted my world with her Gkind words
And Emsoft curls
Just a Gschoolboy crush
But you Aremind me of her
[Pre-Chorus]
BmShe saw Gsomething in me
I was Bmlonely and misundeArstood
AShe'd ask me to write down my Gwildest schemes
And over sEmlices of blueberry Gpie
I learned Ato dream
[Chorus]
She'd say Dwhat good's a dreamer witF#mhout a believer?
We Gall just need someone to Emcare
AOne who might listen and A/Groot for our wishes
GSomeone to simply be Gm/Bbglad that we're there

Aut still she painted my world with her kind words

And soft curls

Just a schoolboy crush

But you remind me of her

[Pre-Chorus]

She'd ask me to write down my wildest schemes

And over slices of blueberry pie

I learned to dream
