Felix Hagan & The Family - Tough to be a dreamer

^CWell everyone's the hero in their own story Everyone's a sucker for a taste of glory ^FBut stories are for children and glory's not a taste I can acqui^Cre.

^CAnd people say that wishes are the path to freedom, See the stars are shining honey you could be one, ^FBut the pipedreams flush away and in the cold grey light of day they exp^Cire.

^DmCause I built my castle on broken dreams ^FAnd as time goes by I must admit it seems ^DmThat I was sold a lie ma^Fkes me wanna cry so loud^G, so loud.

^CCause it's tough to be a dreamer when they don't come true, ^AmNothing seems to happen and you can't break through ^DmFeel like a blossoming is overdue, ^GWhen you realise no one's gonna give the world to you. ^CWell ain't no use in crying darling so they say, ^AmFind a thing you love to do and make it pay, ^DmNothing you accomplish matters anyway, ^GSo all that really counts is how you live today.

^CWell I'm not one to get uptight for no good reason, While some might see decay I see a change of season, ^FAnd everyone's got problems no m^Fmore or less pathetic tha^Cn mine.

^CCause I'm trying to project a sunny disposition, But it's hard to paint a smile on wasted young ambition, ^FAnd everyday's another little gr^Fmain of sand lost to the mists of^C time.

^DmCause if I can't make it then what's the point, ^FIf my whole damn life is set to disappoint ^DmWell I guess there's not^Fhing left to do but smil^Ge, so smile.

^FWell if this is all that ever wi^Cll be that's OK ^FBut there's no damn noise left to drown out the^Fm sound of the petals that sigh as they're falling^G away
