Jimmy Dean and Steve McQueen

G                      Bm7
The world has gone and changed on me
D                 C
Destoyed my whole philosophy
G                      Bm7
My faith was strong it never shook
D                          C
One levee break was all it took
Am          D
Can we roll away
G                         Em
into a sunset fading on a silver screen?
Am               D
Can you show the way?

G               Bm7
Georgie sold us out today
D                            C
For a pair of sneakers and a full week's pay
G                     Bm7
The landlord wants me out of town
D                        C
Or else he gonna put you in the ground
Am          D
Can we run away
G                               Em
To where blue skies make up all the scenery?
Am               D   Ebm7 B5 
Can you show the way?

Chorus
Em            Bm    C             Am    Bm
Save me Jimmy Dean, save me Steve McQueen
Em                Bm     C               Am    Bm
Wake me from this dream, show me what it means
Em                     Bm
Three runs down in the bottom of the ninth
C                              Am    Bm
If I could pick two guys to be on my side
            C                D
It would be Jimmy Dean & Mr. Steve McQueen

The world is getting awful strange
People get their faces rearranged
High cheekbones and a plastic nose
But I liked Mike when he was 10-years old
Can we turn it back
To the time inside our parents' photographs?
Can you bring it back?

Chorus
Em            Bm    C               Am    Bm
Save me Jimmy Dean, save me Steve McQueen
Em                Bm     C               Am    Bm
Wake me from this dream, show me what it means
Em                     Bm
Three runs down in the bottom of the ninth
C                              Am    Bm
If I could pick two guys to be on my side
            C                D
It would be Jimmy Dean & Mr. Steve McQueen

F                   Em
Just tell me yes or no
F                   G
How does this story go?
Am                         Bm
Whether we take it fast or we take it slow
C                          D              Ebm7 B5
I hate to ask, but there's one thing I've got to know

The world has gone and changed on me
The way things were will never be
1 and 2 came crumbling down
We act as if they're still around
Can we move ahead
And forget about the images inside our heads?
Can we wake the dead?

Chorus
Em            Bm    C      Am     Bm
Save me Jimmy Dean, save me Steve McQueen
Em                Bm     C               Am    Bm
Wake me from this dream, show me what it means
Em                     Bm
Three runs down in the bottom of the ninth
C                              Am    Bm
If I could pick two guys to be on my side

Four runs down in the bottom of the ninth
If I could pick two guys to be on my side
Five runs down, six runs down, seven runs down, eight runs down
Nine runs down, ten runs down, I dunno how we're gonna turn this game around...
