[Verse 1]
              Ebm                 
I was turning nineteen, on a cold 
Gb
December night
             B                  
Burning like kerosene for nearly 
            Db    Bbm
half of my life
                     Ebm           
And I barely had the GPA to make it
        Gb
 out of Eugene
                    B              
You can blame it on me with the 
                    Db             
ADHD while I'm falling asleep 
     Bbm
during the SATs
         Ebm
And as I pack my bags and headed to 
a foreign land
Gb
One way ticket on a one way plan
B
Lay my head down alone each night
Db                                
The same devil's calling in and 
   Bbm
that same old fight
Ebm
Cause this one's for middle sons 
living in the middle of
Gb                                
Where they coming from and a 
           B
halfway rush of blood
This one's for those first prayers 
               Db                  
to heaven on a road that seems 
  Bbm
never ending


[Chorus]
            Gb*        Ebm    
For all the heartbreak dreamers 
  B               Gb
waiting for the light
            Gb*        Ebm      B
Looking for just one reason to 
               Gb
get through the night
           Gb*      Ebm  B       
Every long lost believer caught 
      Gb
in the fight
        Gb*        Ebm
All the heartbreak dreamers
            B     Gb
We're gonna be alright

Everybody sing

[Verse]
                  Ebm              
And I was turning twenty five in a 
          Gb
city that don't sleep
                 B                 
Was feeling only half alive to the 
              Db    Bbm
dreams that I keep
              Ebm
And I kept on waiting
                   Gb
Wondering if she's waiting for me
                 B
You burning down Main on a quarter 
tank of pain
                         Db       
Wearing the soles off your feet
Bbm

                Ebm
And you've been waiting and praying 
for the right one to come
          Gb                     
Watch the rise and the falling of 
                     B
another setting sun
Nobody seems quite good enough for 
               Db               
you except the wrong one you keep 
Bbm
running back to
Ebm
So this one's for Mike still waiting
 for his wife
Gb
This one's for grandma losing the 
love of her life
B                                 
This one's for those first prayers
                Db             
 to heaven on a road that seems 
      Bbm
never ending


[Chorus]
            Gb*        Ebm    
For all the heartbreak dreamers 
  B               Gb
waiting for the light
            Gb*        Ebm      B
Looking for just one reason to 
               Gb
get through the night
           Gb*      Ebm  B       
Every long lost believer caught 
      Gb
in the fight
        Gb*        Ebm
All the heartbreak dreamers
            B     Gb
We're gonna be alright

And this one right here ah, this is 
for the fat girls
This one is uh, is for the little 
brothers
This is for the schoolyard wimps, 
for the childhood bullies who 
tormented them
To the former prom queen and to the 
milk crate ball players
For the nighttime cereal eaters and 
for the retired elderly Wal-Mart 
store front door greeters
Shake the dust
This is for the benches and the 
people sitting upon
For the bus driver's driving a 
million broken hymns
To the men who have to hold down 
three jobs simply to hold up their 
children
For the nighttime schoolers and for 
the midnight bike riders trying to 
fly
Shake the dust
This is for the two year olds who 
cannot be understood because they 
speak half English and half God
Shake the dust
For the boys with the beautiful 
beautiful sisters
Shake the dust
For the girls with those brothers 
who are going crazy
Those gym class wallflowers and the 
twelve year-old afraid of taking 
public showers
For the kid who is always late to 
class and forgets the combination to
 his lockers
And the girl who loved somebody else
Shake the dust
This is for the hard men who want 
love but know that it won't come
For the one's amendments do not 
stand up for
For the ones who are forgotten

(main theme again - repeat till 
end:)
Ebm Gb B Db Bbm
For the ones who are told to speak 
only when you are spoken to
And then they are never spoken to 
speak
Every time you stand so you do not 
forget yourself
Do not let one moment go by that 
doesn't remind you that your heart 
beats hundred thousand times a day
And that they have gallons of blood 
making every one is an Ocean
