                          C
Oh here’s a story about a boy named Jay
                          Am
Nothing he did would ever get in my way
                     F                C
But there’s still a long long way to go

I've only ever seen his face on film
I've only ever heard the lines he'd say
But still they won't, get in my way

Chorus:
                            F
I’m always told to be the dreamer kind
                               C
Wake up one morning and your dreams are life
                Dm
Never let them bring you down
                Em
Never let them tear me down
                               F
I always thought that I would follow you
                       C
Every place and everything you do
                 Dm
But I’m happy to be by myself
             Em
I don’t need no one else

He's never ever seen my face before
I'm trying hard cause this I can't ignore
But there's still a long, long way to go

Chorus

Am                 F                 C
All my dreams are built around your face
          G
And this place
Am                 F             C
All the times of staring at the sun
           G
You’re the one
Am                 F                 C
All my dreams are built around your face
           G
And this place
Am                 F             C
All the times of staring at the sun
           G
You’re the one
