Tough To Be A Dreamer

C Am Dm G C Well everyone's the hero in their own story Everyone's a sucker for a taste of glory F C But stories are for children and glory's not a taste I can acquire. C And people say that wishes are the path to freedom, See the stars are shining honey you could be one, F C But the pipedreams flush away and in the cold grey light of day they expire. Middle 8 Dm Cause I built my castle on broken dreams F And as time goes by I must admit it seems Dm F G That I was sold a lie makes me wanna cry so loud, so loud. C Cause it's tough to be a dreamer when they don't come true, Am Nothing seems to happen and you can't break through Dm Feel like a blossoming is overdue, G When you realise no one's gonna give the world to you. C Well ain't no use in crying darling so they say, Am Find a thing you love to do and make it pay, Dm Nothing you accomplish matters anyway, G So all that really counts is how you live today. C Am Dm G C Well I'm not one to get uptight for no good reason, While some might see decay I see a change of season, F Fm C And everyone's got problems no more or less pathetic than mine. C Cause I'm trying to project a sunny disposition, But it's hard to paint a smile on wasted young ambition, F Fm C And everyday's another little grain of sand last to the mists of time. Middle 8 Dm Cause if I can't make it then what's the point, F If my whole damn life is set to disappoint Dm F G Well I guess there's nothing left to do but smile, so smile. C Cause it's tough to be a dreamer when they don't come true, Am Nothing seems to happen and you can't break through Dm Feel like a blossoming is overdue, G When you realise no one's gonna give the world to you. C Well ain't no use in crying darling so they say, Am Find a thing you love to do and make it pay, Dm Nothing you accomplish matters anyway, G So all that really counts is how you live today. F C Well if this is all that ever will be that's OK F But there's no damn noise left to drown out the Fm G Sound of the petals that sigh as they're falling away C Cause it's tough to be a dreamer when they don't come true, Am Nothing seems to happen and you can't break through Dm Feel like a blossoming is overdue, G When you realise no one's gonna give the world to you. C Well ain't no use in crying darling so they say, Am Find a thing you love to do and make it pay, Dm Nothing you accomplish matters anyway, G So all that really counts, all that really counts C Am Whoa oh oh oh oh Dm Whoa oh oh oh oh oh G Whoa oh oh oh oh, yeah C
