Intro:
Cadd9 D Em7 Em
Cadd9 D Em7 Em
Cadd9 D
I was walking around, just a face in the crowd
Em7 Em
Trying to keep myself out of the rain
Cadd9 D
Saw a vagabond king wear a styrofoam crown
Em7 Em
Wondered if I might end up the same
Cadd9 D
There's a man out on the corner
Em7 Cadd9
Singing old songs about change
C D G
Everybody's got their cross to bare, these days
Cadd9 D
She came looking for some shelter
Em7 Em
With a suitcase full of dreams
Cadd9 D
To a motel room on the boulevard
Em7 Em
Guess she's trying to be James Dean
Cadd9 D
She's seen all the disciples
Em7 Cadd9
And all the "wanna be's"
C D Em
No one wants to be themselves these days
C D G
Still there's nothing to hold on to but these days
Cadd9 D Em7 Em
These days, the stars seem out of reach
Cadd9 D G G7
These days, there ain't a ladder on these streets, no no no
C D G Cadd9
These days, are fast, love don't last in this graceless age
C D G
There ain't nobody left but us these days
Cadd9 D Em7 Em
Jimmy's shoes busted both his legs, trying to learn to fly
Cadd9 D Em7 Em
From a second story window, he just jumped and closed his eyes
Cadd9 D Em7 Cadd9
His momma said he was crazy, he said momma "I've got to try"
C D Em
Don't you know that all my heroes died
C D G
And I guess I'd rather die than fade away
Cadd9 D Em7 Em
These days, the stars seem out of reach
Cadd9 D G G7
These days, there ain't a ladder on these streets, no no no
C D G Cadd9
These days, are fast, love don't last in this graceless age
C D Em
Even innocence has caught the midnight train
C D G
And there ain't nobody left but us these days
C Am C
Am C
I know Rome's still burning
Am C
Though the times have changed
Am D
This world keeps turning round and round and round and round
Cadd9 G D Cadd9 G D
These days
Cadd9 D Em7 Em
These days, the stars seem out of reach
Cadd9 D G G7
These days, there ain't a ladder on these streets, no no no
C D G Cadd9
These days, are fast, love don't last, there ain't no time to waste
C D Em
There ain't nobody left to take the blame
C D G C D Em
There ain't nobody left but us these days
C D G
There ain't nobody left but us these days
