               G

        G7
    You know I was the kind who'd run
   C
    Any time you'd call
      A7
    I guess I was the only one
        Am             D

    But it's not good enough for you

    You know I was the kind who'd run
   C
    Any time you'd call
      A7
    I guess I was the only one

    Who didn't mind at all

              G
    I'll be a dreamer
