D
When I was a boy
A# A
Hardly more than 1 years old
D A# A
My family moved to a small?town
D A# A
And I was destroyed leaving all my friends behind
D G
And if I had the choice we'd have stayed put
Gm
It's only now I can see
G A
Sometimes a little change can be good
[Verse 2]
D
At the end of the block
A# A
The ramshackle diner stood
D A# A
My after school spot just to pass time
D A# A
Where I met a girl nearly three times my age
D G
Aut still she painted my world with her kind words
Em
And soft curls
G
Just a schoolboy crush
A
But you remind me of her
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm G
She saw something in me
Bm A
I was lonely and misunderstood
A G
She'd ask me to write down my wildest schemes
Em G
And over slices of blueberry pie
A
I learned to dream
[Chorus]
D F#m
She'd say what good's a dreamer without a believer
G Em
We all just need someone to care
A Em
One who might listen and root for our wishes
G A#
Someone to simply be glad that we're there
D F#m
What good's a hand if nobody needs holding
G Em
When everything else falls away
Em G D A# A
If no one believes her what good's a dreamer anyway
[Verse 3]
D
Thank god for that place
A# A
It practically saved me
D A# A
Those school kids sure 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 A
By listening she let me have something to say
[Chorus]
D F#m
Oh What good's a dreamer without a believer
G Em
We all just need someone to care
A Em
One who might listen and root for our wishes
G A#
Someone to simply be glad that we're there
D F#m
What good's a hand if nobody needs holding
G Em
When everything else falls away
Em G D A# A D
If no one believes her what good's a dreamer anyway
