The chords are really simple..well, my ones are! hope u enjoy, leave any comments if u want! :)
 
 
[Verse 1]
               G
Although you think i cope
             Em
My head is filled with hope
     C                      G    D
of some place...other than here
 
              G
Although you think i smile
            Em
inside and all the while
      C                      D
I'm wondering about my destiny
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
            G
I'm thinking about
          Em
all the things
          Am
I'd like to do
       D
In my life
 
 
[Chorus]
          G
I'm a dreamer
             Em
a distant dreamer
             C
dreaming for hope
       D
for today
 
 
[Verse 2]
Even when you see me frown
My heart won't let me down
Because I know..there's better things to come (whoa yeah)
 
And then when life gets tough
I feel i've had enough
I hold on to a distant star
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
            G
I'm thinking about
          Em
all the things
          Am
I'd like to do
       D
In my life
 
 
[Chorus]
          G
I'm a dreamer
             Em
a distant dreamer
             C
dreaming for hope
       D
for today

Thsnks Sian-Og for posting this- I love this song and been meaning to dust off the guitar to play it myself (although I wish I could sing!!) :) I would just change the D on last line of first bit of V1 to a G and THEN go to D before going into the next bit of V1. Also, in chorus, change the Em to an E, which just gives it that little bit of extra mournfulnesss! :-D I'm just working on a strumming pattern now - not my strength. I like how in the recording V2 takes on a kinda flamenco feel.
