While most of this song is on piano, it is really a beautiful song on
guitar as well, acoustic only please =P
[Dm] Thought I might get a [Bb]rocket ride
When I [F]was a child,
But it [C]was a lie
That I[Dm] told myself when I [Bb]needed something [F]good.[A]
[Dm] At 17 had a [Bb]better dream
Now I'm [F]33, and it [C]isn't me.
But I'd[Dm] think of something [Bb]better if I [A]could.
[Gm]All my friends and [Am]lovers
Will [Dm][Asus2]leave me [F][G]behind,
[Bb] And I'm still [F]looking for a [A]girl.
[Gm]One way[Am] or another
I'm just [Dm]hoping to [G]find a [Bb]way
To put my [F]feet out in the [Bb]world.
[Dm] Caught some grief from a [Bb]falling leaf
As she [F]tumbled into the [C]dirty ground,
And said I[Dm] should have put her [Bb]back there if I[F] [A]could.
[Dm] Well everyone needs a [Bb]better day,
And I'm [F]tryin' to find me a [C]better way.
To get[Dm] through the things I [Bb]do and the things I [A]should.
[Gm]All my friends and [Am]lovers
Will [Dm][Asus2]leave me [F][G]alone.
[Bb] To try to [F]have a little[A] fun.
[Gm]One way or [Am]another
I just [Dm][Asus2]wish I [F]had [G]known
[Bb] To go out [F]walking in the [Bb]sun.[F]
[Bb] To find out [F]if you were the [G#]one.[Bb]
Do you wanna come a little [G#]closer now[Bb]
Do you wanna [G#]dance with me?[Bb]
Would you want it a little [G#]hotter now?[Bb]
Can you [Am]see her [Bb]waiting there?
Can you [Am]see her she's [Bb]almost there?
can you [Am]see her [Bb]waiting there for someone like me?
[F] [Bb]
[F] [Bb]
[Dm] Well all you want is a [Bb]beauty queen,
not a [F]superstar,
But [C]everybody's dream machine.
[Dm] All you want is[Bb] a place to lay [F]your [A]head.
[Dm] You go to sleep dreamin' [Bb]how you would
Be a [F]different kind if you [C]thought you could,
But you[Dm] come awake the [Bb]way you are [A]instead.
[Gm]All my friends and [Am]lovers,
They [Dm][Asus2]shine [F]like [G]the sun.
[Bb] Well I just [F]turn and walk [A]away.
[Gm]One way or [Am]another
I'm not [Dm][Asus2]comin' [F][G]undone.
[Bb] I'm just [F]waiting for the[Bb] day.
[Gm] [Am] [Dm] [Asus2] [F] [G]
[Bb] [F] [A]
[Gm]Bb [Am]F [Dm]Bb [Asus2] F [F](end [G]on this alternating and fading....)
