Something of a Dreamer Lyrics

SOMETHING OF A DREAMER (Mary Chapin Carpenter)
[Mary Chapin Carpenter plays this in A with a capo on the 2nd fret;
John Jennings' lead part is in G with a capo on the 4th fret. The
chords written here are MCC's.]
[It's possible that MCC's guitar is in a weird tuning, but I can't tell
for sure.]
The * chords alternate between and .
[Thanks to Pete Smith (PWSmith853@aol.com) for the capo information and
the inspiration to write this one down.]

She used to watch him from afar
She used to dream about him, and she'd wish upon a star that
One day he'd want her for his own
Throw caution to the wind, and with a grin he'd take her home
She's something of a dreamer, something of a fool
Something of a heartbreak when she gives her heart to you
And she used to hear his voice at night
A sweet whisper from the shadows, dancing with the back porch light
And she used to feel him in the wind
His warm breath upon her neck, and goosebumps up and down her skin
She's something of a dreamer, something of a fool
Something of a heartbreak when she gives her heart to you

Well she should have known by now, but that's the foolish part of her
She should have seen somehow, but a dreamer's never cured
When heartbreak fast approaches, when a love ain't truly love
He promised wine and roses, and she thought that was enough
She's something of a dreamer, something of a fool
Something of a heartbreak when she gives her heart to you
She's something of a dreamer, something of a fool
Something of a heartbreak when she gives her heart to you
She's something of a dreamer, something of a fool
Something of a heartbreak when she gives her heart to you
