INTRO:
D    Bm7    G  A  D

VERSE:
 A                 D
I've never been a fighter
                           Bm7
But I've been fighting all my life
                     G
I've never been the brightest
 A                   D
Somehow I always survive
 A                 D
Every night before I sleep
                           Bm7
I pray to God that you and He meet
Bm                        G
I'm just lonely for some blue skies
 A                  D
Baby in my darkest days

CHORUS:
            G
My grandpa told me
 D            A
Girl it gets lonely
 D                 G
When you've had enough
                    D
And life's getting rough
              A
Don't you let go
              G
Just keep on dreaming
D              A
 Don't stop believing
Bm              G
 And without a doubt
                 A
That's when the good
               D
things come about

VERSE:
                      D
I've been riding the long train
                       Bm7
Wondering where it may take me
                     G
I've been roaming around
               A               D
But I finally found where I belong
