[Intro]
D Bb A D Bb A7
[Verse]
D
When I was a boy
Bb A
Hardly more than 10 years old
D Bb A
My family moved to a small town
D Bb A
And I was destroyed leaving all my friends behind
D G
And if I had the choice we'd€™ve stayed put
Gm G
It'€™s only now I can see
A
Sometimes a little change can be good
D
At the end of the block
Bb A
The ramshackle diner stood
D Bb A
My after school spot just to pass time
D Dm Bb A7
Where I met a girl nearly three times my age
D G
But still she painted my world with her kind words
Em
And soft curves
G
Just a schoolboy crush
A
But you remind me of her
Bm G
She saw something in me
Bm G
I was lonely and misunderstood
A G
She’d ask me to write down my wildest schemes
Em
And over slices of blueberry pie
G A
I learned to dream
D F#m
She’d say "What good's a dreamer without a believer?
G Em
We all just need someone to care
A
One who might listen and root for our wishes
G Bb
Someone to simply be glad that we're there
D F#m D
What good's a hand if nobody needs holding?
G Em E
When everything else falls away
Em D
If no one believes her‚ what good's a dreamer anyway?"
[Interlude]
D Bb A
[Verse]
D
Thank god for that place
Bb A
It practically saved me
D Bb A
Those school kids just didn’t take kind to this stranger
D G A
And I was eccentric‚ all grand plans and inventions
Bm A G
That I would’ve just thrown away
Gm C
By listening she let me have something to say
D
Oh, what good’s a dreamer without a believer?
G Em
We all just need someone to care
A
Oh, one who might listen and root for our wishes
G Bb
Someone to simply be glad that we're there
D
What good’s a hand if nobody needs holding?
G E
When everything else falls away
Em E D
If no one believes her‚ what good’s a dreamer anyway?
[Interlude]
Bb A D
