The Dreamer

G C D G C G G Well, I remember her from years before C/G I was eighteen, she was thirty-four G D I'd been on the search for something more G And there she was G I saw her standing there across the room C/G With a pit in my stomach that was about to bloom D I finally mustered up enough courage to say hello G I'd known Katie was her name C/G She didn't remember mine but it was all the same G As I threw my hook into a wishing well D We were interrupted by an older fellow G Two tall drinks and a shitty grin C/G I could tell that he was her man G But there was only one thing left to do D So I laid it on her D I said G E7 C G "I've been trying to make you love me G C G D From the other side of this room G E7 I spent most of my years just chasing my tail C G And it's brought me right here to you G C I may be young D But a man can dream, can't he? G You're damn right he can" G There's a lot to be learned when you're eighteen C/G When the world was a big place for a boy like me G But if you don't put your hand in the flame and feel the fire D You might as well just pack it up, and retire G I don't regret a word I said C/G Or the cheap shot that I took to the head G From her boyfriend D G When I leaned in to give her a kiss C Sorry, Miss G E7 C G "I've been trying to make you love me G C G D From the other side of this room G E7 I spent most of my years just chasing my tail C G And it's brought me right here to you G C I may be young D But a man can dream, can't he? G You're damn right he can" G There's a moral to this song C/G You're never too old, you're never too young G To follow that feeling, inside your heart D It's the best place to start G E7 C G "I've been trying to make you love me G C G D From the other side of this room G E7 I spent most of my years just chasing my tail C G And it's brought me right here to you G C I may be young D But a man can dream, can't he? Can't he? G You're damn right he can" G C/G D G
