DANCEHALL DREAMER


A   Bm7   E         A    Bm7   E
E
Found myself in a barroom doin things I ought not to
                                                              F#m
Watching life as it slowly passed me by
A                                                                  Bm7                     E
I was holdin on to lovers disregarding others with my lies
Living my whole life like this I guess itâs risky business
                                                               F#m
Some folks say that I wonât last too long
            A
And I canât say I blame for sayin what theyâre sayin
                                  Bm7                  E
Cause right now Iâm just holdin on

CHORUS
A                      Bm7                    E            A             Bm7           E
Iâm just and old dancehall dreamer          livin my life in the past
A                              Bm7                          E                  C#m
Keep holdin on to dreams and them slow movin trains
A                                      Bm7              E
And I donât know how long I can last

So I called out to Jesus said lord I really need you
Youâve got to carry me for a while
Iâve been runnin too long singin them old tired songs
As the wheels keep turnin out the miles
Like I said Iâm just a dreamer gotta keep believin
Someday things will go my way
Iâm just runnin from the devil got one foot on the pedal
While the other ones laid up in the grave
