Verse 1:
B[A]aby I know youâre thinking itâs wrong
E[f#]very night Iâm writing new songs
A[b]nd when I go to sing them to you

A[f#] day dreaming song writing screamer
B[b]ut one day Iâm gonna prove it to you [E]
Chorus:
O[D]ne day Iâm gonna get a good dollar
For this old guit[A]ar
Youâre gonna s[D]ee my name up in the lights

One d[D]ay Iâm gonna get a good d[E]ollar for
This old guit[A]ar [E]
Verse 2:
B[A]aby I know youâve had a hard time
Y[f#]ou say my lifeâs like a nursery rhyme
Y[b]ou say you left me out of all the plans I drew
If[E] that were true would I be here with you?
I[A] wish that I could make you a believer

ÎC[b]ause one day Iâm gonna prove that these
Words are true [E]
