Even If It Breaks Your Heart

[Intro]
Am G C F C
G

[Verse 1]
Am  G           C
Way back on the radio dial
        F    C            G
The fire got lit inside a brighteyed child
Am      G                C
  Every note just wrapped around his soul
          F
From steel guitars to Memphis,
        G
all the way to rock and roll

[Chorus]
F  C Am         G
Oh, I  can hear 'em playin'
 F         C                Am         G
I can hear the ringin' of a beat up ol' guitar
F  C Am         G
Oh, I  can hear 'em singin'
     F   C
"Keep on dreamin',
     G           C
even if it breaks your heart"

[Bridge]
Am G C F C

[Verse 2]
Am  G            C
Downtown is where I used to wander
   F          C
Old enough to get there,
        G
but too young to get inside
   Am G          C
So I  would stand out on the sidewalk
   F          C             G
Listen to the music playin' every Friday night

[Chorus]
F  C Am         G
Oh, I  can hear 'em playin'
 F         C                Am         G
I can hear the ringin' of a beat up ol' guitar
F  C Am         G
Oh, I  can hear 'em singin'
     F   C
"Keep on dreamin',
     G           C
even if it breaks your heart"

[Solo]

[Verse 3]
Am     G          C
  Some dreams stay with you forever
    F          C              G
Drag you around but bring you back to where you were
Am     G          C
  Some dreams keep on gettin' better
       F         C              G
You gotta keep believin' if you wanna know for sure

[Chorus]
F  C Am         G
Oh, I  can hear 'em playin'
 F         C                Am         G
I can hear the ringin' of a beat up ol' guitar
F  C Am         G
Oh, I  can hear 'em singin'
     F   C
"Keep on dreamin',
     G           C
even if it breaks your heart"
F  C Am         G
Oh, I  can hear 'em playin'
 F         C                Am         G
I can hear the ringin' of a beat up ol' guitar
F  C Am         G
Oh, I  can hear 'em singin'
     F   C
"Keep on dreamin',
     G           C
even if it breaks your heart"

even if it breaks your heart"
