[Verse 1]
 D               G              A
Another night of playing in the boondocks
 D               G             A
Another night of cryin’ in our beer
 G               A             Bm
Another night of Mary quite contrary
G                                  A
Crowds that never came and humpin’ gear
G                                    D
Down the oul’ white line to fame and fortune
G               A              D
Maybe next time written in the sky
Bm              G                A
Always some new song to lift our spirits
     G                      A              D
With dreams that don’t come true but never die

[Chorus]
D          G            A
We are the dreamers and believers
    D               G               A
The singers and the sinners and the breakers of the mould
          D              G           Bm          A
We’re the lovers and the leavers the lonely self deceivers
   G             A              G                D
We are the music makers and the hard men for the road

[Verse 2]
 D               G              A
Another night of so-called tour engagements
 D               G              A
Another dartboard nightmare far from home
 G               A             Bm
Half the band don’t talk to one another
G                                  A
The other half are lyin’ on the phone
G                                    D
Ah it’s a great life if you just don’t weaken
G               A              D
Singin’ songs and sellin’ love’s sweet dreams
Bm              G                A
But there’s magic when we play it together
     G                      A              D
Don’t ask me what it is or what it means

[Chorus]
D          G            A
We are the dreamers and believers
    D               G               A
The singers and the sinners and the breakers of the mould
          D              G           Bm          A
We’re the lovers and the leavers the lonely self deceivers
   G             A              G                D
We are the music makers and the hard men for the road

[Verse 3]
 D               G             A
You’ll see our battered wagons on the highway
 D               G             A
Makin’ pitstops at a thousand nameless bars
 G               A             Bm
We’re living for the moment and the music
G                                  A
Singing songs and reaching for the stars
G               A              D
But sometimes in the heart of all the madness
G               A              D
There are moments money cannot buy
Bm              G                A
When the singer and the song just come together
     G                      A              D
And the music is pure magic and that’s why

[Chorus]
D          G            A
We are the dreamers and believers
    D               G               A
The singers and the sinners and the breakers of the mould
          D              G           Bm          A
We’re the lovers and the leavers the lonely self deceivers
   G             A              G                D
We are the music makers and the hard men for the road
