E5                     F#5
The gentleman's in the lane
G5                         C5
Spinning his hat on a cane
          A5           C5
Stepping out, out for a change
                D5                  F5 C5
Good morning all, it's a beautiful day

E5                            F#5
The generals are winning the war
G5                     C5      A5
Seemed suicidal before you came along
        C5
Now, now
             D5                   F5 C5
I'll protect you, long as you'll stay

E5 F#5
L A5
A5     Cadd4   C5           Bb5            D5    G5  
Morning had to come, I'd be walking in the sun
                F#5
Living in the day
         C5                                  E5   
But last night I was about to throw it all away

If patience started a band
I'd be her biggest fan
Look at me, I'm talking to you
I don't want the lead in your play

The star's just a part of the scene
The gentleman in green
Paying off, out on the street
I can't go home, it's not on my way

LA
Things I've never done, cars parked in the sun
Living in the day
But last night I was about to throw it all away

     C5                                   E5
Last night I was about to throw it all away
     C5                                   E5
Last night I was about to throw it all away
     C5                                   E5
Last night I was about to throw it all away
