*CAPO 2nd FRET*

(Original Key: A)


Verse 1:

G
 I had to prove that I could make it alone now,
    D7sus4        D7
But that's not me.
G
 I wanted to show how independent I'd grown now,
    D7sus4        D7
But that's not me.

Bridge 1:

        Am                   D7
I could try to be big in the eyes of the world,
     Am                    D7
What matters to me is what I could be,
   Bm7            Emaj7  F#m7/E
To just one girl...

Chorus 1:

      Emaj7                     F#m7/E                 Emaj7     F#m7/E
I'm a little bit scared, 'cos I haven't been home in a long time.

    A                     A7                      D          D7
You needed my love, and I know that I left at the wrong time.

Verse 2:

   G
My folks when I wrote them, told 'em what I was up to said;
D7sus4         D7
 That's not me.
               G
I went through all kinds of changes, took a look at myself and said;
D7sus4         D7
 That's not me.

Bridge 2:

  Am                  D7
I miss my pad and the places I've known,
    Am                D7
And every night, as I lay there alone,
        Bm7    Emaj7  F#m7/E
I would dream...

Chorus 2:

  Emaj7                  F#m7/E                      Emaj7  F#m7/E
I once had a dream, so I packed up and split for the city.
  Fmaj7                  Gm                    Fmaj7   Gm
I soon found out that my lonely life wasn't so pretty.

    Bb                   Bb7                            Eb     Eb7
I'm glad I went, now I'm that much more sure that we're ready.

Coda:

  Emaj7                  F#m7/E                      Emaj7  F#m7/E
I once had a dream, so I packed up and split for the city.
  Emaj7                  F#m7/E                Emaj7   F#m7/E
I soon found out that my lonely life wasn't so pretty.
  Emaj7                  F#m7/E                      Emaj7  F#m7/E
I once had a dream, so I packed up and split for the city.
  Emaj7                  F#m7/E                Emaj7   F#m7/E
I soon found out that my lonely life wasn't so pretty.
