D
When I was a boy
Bb                A
Hardly more than 10 years old
D                    Bb      A
My family moved to a smalltown
     D                       Bb                 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
Bb              A
The ramshackle diner stood
   D                         Bb    A
My after school spot just to pass time
      D                   Bb              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                        A/G
One who might listen and root for our wishes
G                    Gm/Bb
Someone to simply be glad that we're there
D                     F#m
What good's a hand if nobody needs holding?
     G                      E
When everything else falls away
   Em                  Gm                    D
If no one believes her what good's a dreamer anyway?

[Verse 3]

      D
Thank god for that place
   Bb          A
It practically saved me
      D                            Bb           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
What good's a dreamer without a believer?
   G                        Em
We all just need someone to care
A7                       Em/G
One who might listen and root for our wishes
G          G/B       Bb
Someone to simply be glad that we're there
D                     F#m
What good's a hand if nobody needs holding?
     G                      E
When everything else falls away
   Em                  G                     D   D/F#  Dm/F  A  D
If no one believes her what good's a dreamer anyway?
