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
