F#5 *  C#5  F#5 *  C#5


VERSE1
( C#5 )   F#5 *                  C#5
I don't have much money or a place to sleep
      F#5 *                           C#5
I've found me some friends and been awake all week
   A5 *                           F#5
I crawl out and try and find my way home
   A5 *                            F#5
I beg for some change beside the pay phone


VERSE2
          F#5 *                    C#5
I'm gonna take her away from this big bad world
     F#5 *                  C#5
She calls me a dreamer, I call her my girl
     A5 *                       F#5
But she can't stand to see my face, no
                A5 *                          F#5
She said she's never had to look at such a waster
        E5
But I dream


CHORUS
                    A5
And as I'm walkin' away
                 B5
She asks me to dance
                    C#5
I fall through the stars
                      D5
She tells my this is my last chance
       A5
As I dream
                B5
For all of my friends
            C#5
Who fail to see
                            D5
There's more to life than meetin' ends


BRIDGE
        B5             F#5
And I'm all on my own again
    B5                F#5
To face this world, afraid
           E5
But she don't care

VERSE3
( C#5 )        F#5 *                          C#5
I scraped my feet down the street where we once were small
     F#5 *                         C#5
The flats we used to hide in now don't seem so tall
         A5 *                            F#5
And I remember all the faces and the chases we had
          A5 *                                         F#5
All the fights at night, the blacks and whites, the bluff from the step


VERSE4
         F#5 *                          C#5
I take a look at my reflection and it don't look pleased
  F#5 *                          C#5
I tell myself I'm precious then I jump to please
          A5 *                             F#5
She said 'Son, when's the last time you rested your head?
          A5 *                                      F#5
Oh, your face will tell your frame is frail when you're lookin' dead
          E5
Come with me'


CHORUS
                    A5
And as I'm walkin' away
                 B5
She asks me to dance
                    C#5
I fall through the stars
                      D5
She tells my this is my last chance
       A5
As I dream
                B5
For all of my friends
            C#5
Who fail to see
                            D5
There's more to life than meetin' ends


BRIDGE
        B5             F#5
And I'm all on my own again
    B5                F#5
To face this world, afraid
           E5
But she don't care

OUTRO (a bit slower and more quiet, picking might be best here)
                    A5
And as I'm walkin' away
                 B5
She asks me to dance
                    C#5
I fall through the stars
                      D5
She tells my this is my last chance
       A5
As I dream
                B5
For all of my friends
            C#5
Who fail to see
                            D5             A5
There's more to life than meetin' ends... oh
