Intro: G5 , D5 , C5 , D5 , G5 , D5 , E5 , C5


G5       D5       E5       C5
I'm the kid who ran away with the circus

G5       D5         C5   D5
Now I'm wandering elephants

G5     D5         E5           C5
But I sometimes lie awake in the sawdust

G5             D5      C5       D5
dreaming high in the suit of light


E5                   C5
Late at night in the empty big top on

E5               C5                       
I'm alone on the high wire 

E5                A5
look he's working without a net this time

D5                 C5  D5
he's a real death defyer


G5       D5       E5            C5
I'm the kid who always looked out the windows

G5       D5        C5   D5
failing tests in geography

G5        D5           E5                C5
But I've seen things far beyond across the school yard

G5        D5         C5      D5
distance shorts of exotic lands


E5                 C5
There's the spires of the turkish empire

E5               C5
six months sweet we made the land fall

E5                  A5
riding low with the spices of India

D5                       C5  D5
Through Japan were rich in all


G5       D5       E5               C5
I'm the kid who who thought we'd someday be lovers

G5           D5        C5        D5           
always held out that the time we tell

G5        D5       E5       C5     
time was talking guess, I wasn't listening

G5           D5      C5       D5
No surprise if you know me well


E5                        C5
as we are walking through toward the train station

E5        C5
there's a whispering rainfall

E5                   A5
across the boulevard you slip your hand in mine

D5                   C5     D5
in the distance the train calls


G5       D5       E5            C5
I'm the kid who has the habit of dreaming

G5         D5       C5          D5
Sometimes gets me in trouble too

G5       D5        E5           C5
But the truth is I could stop no more from dreaming

G5            D5         C5        D5
then I could make them all come true
