Intro:
F#5-C5-D5-C5 (2x)

Verse: (play intro chords)
I've been around...And I realize it's always the same
All the time...And I realize it's all been unchanged
What I find...Before you realize there's no one home
There's no way out...When you realize you're all alone

Pre-Chorus 1:
F5   A5   F5(IX)-E5-D5-E5
Some say, there's no way out
F5   A5     F5(IX)-E5-D5-E5
Here today, there's no way out

Pre-Chorus 2:
D5    Bb5              F5               C5
Every time I'm walking down by Delaware Park
D5         Bb5          F5              C5
You rarely hold my hand when it's after dark
D5                    Bb5                F5                  C5
And all of the places that we go and the things that we have seen
D5-Bb5-F5-C5
????????

     There's no way out

(verse)
Some say...And you realized that time goes by
??????...And you realized you're still alive
Alive today...Before you realize you're not gonna die
??????...And you realize the sun goes by

(pre-chorus 1)
Some say, there's no way out
Here today, there's no way out

(pre-chorus 2)
Every time I come a knockin' at your door
You tell me to turn away, pal you're to poor
I ain't a rich boy, I've heard about all that
All the places I go it's, ching ching ching

(chorus)
There's no way out
There's no way out

(verse - this time Robby screams indecipherably)
And I realize it's always the same
And I realize it's all been unchanged
And you realize there's no one home
When you realize you're all alone

(pre-chorus 1)
Some say, there's no way out
Here today, there's no way out

(pre-chorus 2)
Every time I'm waiting for you in the rain
My mom says our love is sunk in like a God damn vein
I stand around and I think it's gonna work
But you look at me like what I'm a jerk, oh!

(chorus)
There's no way out
There's no way out

(chorus)
There's no way out
There's no way out

End on F#5

James Dean by the Goo Goo Dolls

http://soong.heinous.net/~goo/index.html

The major part of the song is D - A - G - G, through the intro and
verses and most of the choruses. The pre-chorus and the other part
of the choruses ("I wanna be oversexed...") is Em - G - A - A.
These are all open chords played on an acoustic.


VERSE 1
Look around outside
Ain't nothin' to do but hang around
Thinkin' 'bout all the stupid things that I've done
I guess I ain't nothin' but a clown

PRE-CHORUS
And if I had a wish, I swear I'd wish, I'd wish for just one thing
And I don't even think about all the things my wish'd bring,
cause...

CHORUS
I just wanna be James Dean
I just wanna be James Dean
I just wanna be James Dean
...For a day

I wanna be oversexed and underworked and look at me,
I'm such a jerk

And I just wanna be James Dean
...For a day

VERSE 2
Think about stories of the actors and the movie stars
Sittin' here watchin' the old men drinkin' at the bar
I think about Dean and all the things he shoulda tried
I think about Dean and all the ways he coulda die
Yeah, died...

PRE-CHORUS
And I wouldn't give a shit about anything cause I'd be such a big
movie star
But that don't really do me much good just cryin' at the bar

CHORUS
I just wanna be James Dean
I just wanna be James Dean
I just wanna be James Dean
...For a day

See but I'm overworked and undersexed and look at me,
I'm such a wreck

And I just wanna be James Dean
...For a day

VERSE 3
I'm goin' crazy cause I'm always all alone
I'm goin' crazy, no one calls me on the phone
I think about Dean and I know Dean he wouldn't care
If I was Dean I know there'd be somebody there
Yeah, there'd be somebody there for me

Yeah I think about all the really cool things I could do and say
And then you go and tell me that you found out Dean was gay...
No...

CHORUS
I don't wanna be James Dean
I don't wanna be James Dean
I don't wanna be James Dean
...Anymore...
