[intro; see tab at end for details] A - Asus4/F# A - E A - Asus4/F# A - E [Verse 1]
 A           D/F#           E
She used to watch him from afar

 A           D/F#
She used to dream about him

 E               A
And she'd wish upon a star

      A            D/F#             E
That one day he'd want her for his own

 A            D/F#
Throw caution to the wind

      E               A
And with a grin he'd take her home
[Chorus]
        D             E
She's something of a dreamer

A               D
Something of a fool

                E
Something of a heartbreak

 F#m                  E
When she gives her heart to you
[Verse 2]
  A              D/F#             E
And she used to hear his voice at night

   A             D/F#
A sweet whisper from the shadows

    E               A
Dancing with the back porch light

     A           D/F#            E
And she used to feel him in the wind

      A            D/F#
His warm breath upon her neck

     E                  A
And goosebumps up and down her skin
[Chorus]
       D               E
She's something of a dreamer

  A             D
Something of a fool

                   E
Something of a heartbreak

   F#m               E
When she gives her heart to you
[Bridge]
  D              E
She should have known by now

 A                       E      A
But that's the foolish part of her

 D                E
She should have seen somehow

 F#m              E     A
But a dreamer's never cured

  D               E
When heartbreak fast approaches

 A                  E    A
When a love ain't truly love

D             E
He promised wine and roses

F#m                   E     A
And she thought that was enough
[Chorus]
       D               E
She's something of a dreamer

 A              D
Something of a fool

  D              E
Something of a heartbreak

 F#m                 E
When she gives her heart to you
[Chorus]
       D              E
She's something of a dreamer

 A               D
Something of a fool

 D              E
Something of a heartbreak

 F#m                 E
When she gives her heart to you
[Chorus]
       D               E
She's something of a dreamer

 A              D
Something of a fool

  D             E
Something of a heartbreak

  F#m                 E
When she gives her heart to you
