1st verse:
G5                            D5
He spends his nights in California,
E5                             C5
Watching the stars on the big screen
G5                          D5
Then he lies awake and he wonders,
E5                C5
Why can't that be me?
G5
Cause in his life he's filled
     D5 
With all these good intentions
E5              
He's left a lot of things
       C5                       G5
He'd rather not mention right now
                          D5
But just before he says goodnight,
E5                   C5  
He looks up with a little smile at me,

And he says...


chorus:
G5                   D5
If I could be like that,

I would give anything
E5                 C5
Just to live one day, in those shoes
G5                   D5              
If I could be like that,
             E5 
What would I do,
              C5
What would I do?


2nd verse:
G5                                D5   
She spends her days up in the north park,
E5                            C5
Watching the people as they pass
G5
And all she wants is just
    D5
A little piece of this dream ,
E5                   C5
Is that too much to ask?
        G5                D5
With a safe home, and a warm bed,
E5                   C5
On a quiet little street
G5                            D5
All she wants is just that something to
            E5             C5
Hold onto, that's all she needs

Yeah!

(Repeat chorus x3)
