Tom: Am

Am G   Em F   Am G   Em F

[Verse 1]
  Am      G
I turn my face towards the light
                  Em F
For a little While
                  Am
Hoping to soak it in
         G                             Em   F
Thinking maybe somehow, it’ll ignite a fire

                         Am
That burned out from the constant rejection
       G
You’re good but rejection she’s better


[Pre-Chorus]
Em        F
Just keep keepin on
       Am                       G            F
But if it’s alright I’d like to sing y’all a song


[Chorus]
        C        G              Am7        F
About a dive bar dreamer in her dime store boots
        C           G                Am7             F
She is a constant believer in always stickin’ to her roots
              C             G                    Am            F
She spends her days writing songs that the labels  don’t wanna hear
        C                        G            F
And she spends her nights playin for tips and beer

        Am                G                    F
And you know her well cuz she’s standin’ right here
                 C       G     Am F
She’s a dive bar dreamer-er-er-er
           C        G     Am  F
A dive bar dreamer-----er-er


[Verse 2]
         G
I tell myself it’s all gonna be alright
C      F
  Rome wasn’t built in a day
Am                G                          C
You knew what was coming when you chose this life
         F            Am
A lot of hurry up and wait
                   G
But I promise that your time is coming


[Pre-Chorus]
C         F
Just keep keepin on
Am                   G               F
Until then I’m gonna sing y’all this song


[Chorus]
        C        G              Am7        F
About a dive bar dreamer in her dime store boots
        C           G                Am7             F
She is a constant believer in always stickin’ to her roots
              C              G                    Am7           F
She spends her  days writing songs that the labels  don’t wanna hear
        C                        G            F
And she spends her nights playin for tips and beer


[Bridge]
       Am  F
She’ll rise
C                         G
  Like the smoke in the neon lights
       Am  F
She’ll rise
C                         G
  Like every glass in the air tonight

       Am  F
She’ll rise
      C                       G
Rise above all her doubts and fears tonight
       F            G
She’ll rise, I will rise


[Chorus]
          C        G             Am         F
Cuz I’m a dive bar dreamer in my dime store boots
       C          G                Am             F
I am a constant believer in always stickin’ to my roots
             C              G                    Am            F
I’ll spend my  days writing songs that the labels  don’t wanna hear
      C                       G            F
And I spend my nights playin’ for tips and beer
        Am                 G               F
But I’m living my dream as sure as I stand here


[Outro]
                   C       G     Am
Cuz I’m a dive bar dreamer-er-er-er
F              C       G     Am
I’m a dive bar dreamer----er-er
F  N.C.
   I’m a dive bar dreamer
