Without A Dreamer

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?"

[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?
