Tom: F
F
[Verse 1]
Gm C F
Late at night when I wander through my dreams
Gm C Dm C Bb
And my lady lay right next to me while I pretend to sleep
Bb Bb C Bb
And I'm counting all these pennies when I should be counting sheep
C
It's the price of living a dream
[Pre-Chorus]
Bb C F
But it's smokey bars and dance halls
Bb C Dm
One more song and yall its last call
Bb C Dm C Bb
You give it all you got like it courses through your veins
Bb C
Hear the applause as the last note rings
[Chorus]
F C
But its playing for ghosts in empty rooms
Dm Bb
It's a tale about a dream waiting on a fool
Gm Am Bb C F
Until then I'm trying to keep my tip jar half full
[Verse 2]
Gm C F
Some people tell me I'm doing the right thing
Gm C Dm C Bb
Some people wanna tell me I'm making a mistake
Bb Dm C Bb
But this war ain't just inside of me it seems every day,
Bb C
It's my burden, a price I pay
[Pre-Chorus]
Bb C F
But it's smokey bars and dance halls
Bb C Dm
One more song and yall its last call
Bb C Dm C Bb
I'm giving it all I got like it courses through these veins
Bb C
Hear the applause as the last note rings
[Chorus]
F C
But its playing for ghosts in empty rooms
Dm Bb
It's a tale about a dream waiting on a fool
Gm Am Bb C F C Dm Bb
Until then I'm trying to keep my tip jar half full
[Bridge]
Bb C F
'Cause man I'm trying to keep this dream alive
N.C.
When that song hits just right
C F Dm Bb
I got the whole crowd singing to a song that I wrote
C
I feel the tears well up on the high notes
[Outro]
F C
Cause man, this is what I love this is what I do
Dm Bb
There's still a dream out there waiting on this fool
Gm Am Bb
Until then I'm tryna keep
D C Bb
I'll keep picking on these strings
Dm Am Bb C F C Dm Bb C F
Until then I'm tryna keep my tip jar half full
