INTRO
F#m *  C#m  F#m *  C#m


VERSE1
( C#m )   F#m *                  C#m
I don't have much money or a place to sleep
      F#m *                           C#m
I've found me some friends and been awake all week
   A *                           F#m
I crawl out and try and find my way home
   A *                            F#m
I beg for some change beside the pay phone


VERSE2
          F#m *                    C#m
I'm gonna take her away from this big bad world
     F#m *                  C#m
She calls me a dreamer, I call her my girl
     A *                       F#m
But she can't stand to see my face, no
                A *                          F#m
She said she's never had to look at such a waster
        E
But I dream


CHORUS
                    A
And as I'm walkin' away
                 Bm
She asks me to dance
                    C#m
I fall through the stars
                      D
She tells my this is my last chance
       A
As I dream
                Bm
For all of my friends
            C#m
Who fail to see
                            D
There's more to life than meetin' ends


BRIDGE
        Bm             F#m
And I'm all on my own again
    Bm                F#m
To face this world, afraid
           E
But she don't care


INTRO
F#m *  C#m  F#m *  C#m


VERSE3
( C#m )        F#m *                          C#m
I scraped my feet down the street where we once were small
     F#m *                         C#m
The flats we used to hide in now don't seem so tall
         A *                            F#m
And I remember all the faces and the chases we had
          A *                                         F#m
All the fights at night, the blacks and whites, the bluff from the step


VERSE4
         F#m *                          C#m
I take a look at my reflection and it don't look pleased
  F#m *                          C#m
I tell myself I'm precious then I jump to please
          A *                             F#m
She said 'Son, when's the last time you rested your head?
          A *                                      F#m
Oh, your face will tell your frame is frail when you're lookin' dead
          E
Come with me'


CHORUS
                    A
And as I'm walkin' away
                 Bm
She asks me to dance
                    C#m
I fall through the stars
                      D
She tells my this is my last chance
       A
As I dream
                Bm
For all of my friends
            C#m
Who fail to see
                            D
There's more to life than meetin' ends


BRIDGE
        Bm             F#m
And I'm all on my own again
    Bm                F#m
To face this world, afraid
           E
But she don't care


BREAK

OUTRO (a bit slower and more quiet, picking might be best here)
                    A
And as I'm walkin' away
                 Bm
She asks me to dance
                    C#m
I fall through the stars
                      D
She tells my this is my last chance
       A
As I dream
                Bm
For all of my friends
            C#m
Who fail to see
                            D             A
There's more to life than meetin' ends... oh
