VERSE 1:                                                                               
E 
Found myself in a barroom 
 
Doin' things I ought not to 
                                    F#m 
Watching life as it slowly passed me by 
A 
I was holding on to lovers 
                  B7            E         
And disregarding others with my lies 
 
Living my whole life like this 
 
I guess is risky business 
                                     F#m 
Some folks say that I won't last too long 
       A 
And I can't say that I blame them 
 
For saying what they're saying 
                      B7          E 
'Cause right now I'm just holding on 
 
CHORUS: 
A           B7             E      
I'm just an old dancehall dreamer 
A          B7          E          
Living my life in the past 
A              B7              E           C#m 
Holding on to dreams and them slow moving trains 
A                     B7         E 
And I don't know how long I can last. 
 
VERSE 2: 
E 
So I called out to Jesus  
 
Said Lord I really need you 
                            F#m 
You've go to carry me for a while 
           A 
I've been running too long 
 
Singing these old tired songs 
                   B7              E 
As the wheels keep pouring out the miles 
 
Like I said I'm just a dreamer 
 
But I've gotta' keep believing 
                          F#m 
Someday things will go my way 
          A       
I'm just running from the devil 
 
I've got one foot on the pedal 
                        B7         E 
While the other is laid up in the grave 
 
REPEAT CHORUS 
 
BREAK - play CHORUS chords 
 
REPEAT CHORUS 
 
A              B7              E           C#m 
Holding on to dreams and them slow moving trains 
A                     B7         E 
And I don't know how long I can last.
