Misc Musicals – Amélie The Musical - Times Are Hard For Dreamers (Guitar)

C
They say times are hard for dreamers

              F  C  Am   G F
I've saved up everything I  know

C
To take that step up beyond the lawn

F   C    Am  G C
And then see it go

Am         G                      F
Inside the train, out through the glass

G
My finger tracing

Am           G                F        G      C
All of these towns I've never heard of racing past

C
Off the train in Paris, half a mile from Sacre-Coeur

           F C    Am G   F
The city's waking up for me

C
A sign says an apartment's vacant on the second floor

           F  C Am   G C
And suddenly, I hold a key

Am       G              F        G
I turn a lock, the rooms appear

Am         G                F          G        C
And all it takes is one more step, and then I'm here!

                  F
Just me behind my door

                C                             F
It isn't what I have, it's only what I have in store

             C                      F
That matters now, the past can only fade

    Dm              Em           F
And everything I'll ever need is here

        G                 C
This is how the world gets made

C
They say times are hard for dreamers

            F      C  Am   G  F
People seem stuck, or lost at sea

    C
And I might be a dreamer

            F   C Am   G   C
And that is far enough for me

Am          G                F        G
Look out my window there's a view, of other windows

Am          G         F         G      C
My own museum full of paintings I look through

                    F
Where everything is clear

                 C                                F
It isn't where I am, it's only where I'll go from here

             C                 F
That matters now, and I am not afraid

   Dm              Em           F
As everything I'll ever need appears

        G                 C
This is how my world gets made.
