Tom: D5

D5                     Bb5
    Thought I might get a rocket ride
       F5
When I was a child,
       C5
But it was a lie.
      D5                  Bb5               F5     A5
That I told myself when I needed something good.
D5             Bb5
   At 17 had a better dream
        F5          C5
Now I'm 33, and it isn't me.
       D5                  Bb5          A5
But I'd think of something better if I could.


G5                A5
All my friends and lovers
     D5         G5
Will leave me behind,
Bb5               F5             A5
   And I'm still looking for a girl.
G5     A5 
One way  or another
         D5         G5      Bb5
I'm just hoping to find a way
        F5              Bb5
To put my feet out in the world.


D5                        Bb5
   Caught some grief from a falling leaf
       F5              C5
As she tumbled into the dirty ground,
          D5                   Bb5              F5     A5
And said I  should have put her back there if I could.
D5                   Bb5
   Well everyone needs a better day,
        F5                  C5
And I'm tryin' to find me a better way.
      D5                      Bb5                  A5
To get   through the things I do and the things I should.


G5               A5
All my friends and lovers
     D5             G5
Will leave me alone.
Bb5          F5               A5
  To try to have a little fun.
G5          A5
One way or another
       D5         G5
I just wish I had known
Bb5          F5              Bb5   F5
  To go out walking in the sun.
Bb5             F5                  G#5   Bb5
  To find out if you were the one.
                      G#5         Bb5
Do you wanna come a little closer now
G#5  Bb5

G#5  Bb5

      A5      Bb5
Can you see her waiting there?
      A5            Bb5
Can you see her she's almost there?
      A5      Bb5      
can you see her waiting there for someone like me?

D5                       Bb5
   Well all you want is a beauty queen,
        F5
But not a superstar,
         C5            D5          
But everybody's dream machine.
              Bb5                F5     A5
All you want is a place to lay your head.
D5                      Bb5
   You go to sleep dreamin' how you would
     F5                       C5
Be a different kind if you thought you could,
       D5                Bb5            A5
But you   come awake the way you are instead.


G5                A5
All my friends and lovers,
     D5                G5
They shine like the sun.
Bb5            F5            A5
   Well I just turn and walk away.
G5          A5
One way or another
      D5        G5
I'm not comin' undone.
Bb5         F5               Bb5
  I'm just waiting for the day.
