Tough To Be A Dreamer chords

[INTRO]
[C] [Am] [Dm] [G]

[VERSE]
[C]Well everyone's the hero in their own story
Everyone's a sucker for a taste of glory
[F]But stories are f[C]or 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]But the pipedreams [C]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]That I w[F]as sold[G] a lie makes me wanna cry so loud, so loud.

[CHORUS]
[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.

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[C] [Am] [Dm] [G]

[VERSE]
[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]And every[Fm]one's go[C]t 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]And every[Fm]day's anot[C]her 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]Well I g[F]uess th[G]ere's nothing left to do but smile, so smile.

[CHORUS]
[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.

[BRIDGE]
[F]Well if th[C]is is all that ever will be that's OK
[F]But there[Fm]'s no damn noi[G]se left to drown out the petals that sigh as they're falling away

[CHORUS]
[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.
