Standard (EADGBE)

If you're having problems playing the barred E and D, just play the open chords.

Intro

Verse1

 I don't have much money or a place to sleep

 I've found me some friends and been awake all week

 I crawl out and try and find my way home

 I beg for some change beside the pay phone

Verse2

 I'm gonna take her away from this big bad world

 She calls me a dreamer, I call her my girl

 But she can't stand to see my face, no

 She said she's never had to look at such a waster

 But I dream

Chorus

 And as I'm walkin' away

 She asks me to dance

 I fall through the stars

 She tells my this is my last chance

 As I dream

 For all of my friends

 Who fail to see

 There's more to life than meetin' ends

Bridge

 And I'm all on my own again

 To face this world, afraid

 But she don't care

Intro

Verse3

 I scraped my feet down the street where we once were small

 The flats we used to hide in now don't seem so tall

 And I remember all the faces and the chases we had

 All the fights at night, the blacks and whites, the bluff from the step

Verse4

 I take a look at my reflection and it don't look pleased

 I tell myself I'm precious then I jump to please

 She said 'Son, when's the last time you rested your head?

 Oh, your face will tell your frame is frail when you're lookin' dead

 Come with me'

Chorus

 And as I'm walkin' away

 She asks me to dance

 I fall through the stars

 She tells my this is my last chance

 As I dream

 For all of my friends

 Who fail to see

 There's more to life than meetin' ends

Bridge

 And I'm all on my own again

 To face this world, afraid

 But she don't care

Break

Outro

a bit slower and more quiet, picking might be best here)

 And as I'm walkin' away

 She asks me to dance

 I fall through the stars

 She tells my this is my last chance

 As I dream

 For all of my friends

 Who fail to see

 There's more to life than meetin' ends... oh

So this is it, really. When the break starts, Jamie seems to replace the

D and E with power chords, but I'm not too sure (and I suck at those because

of muting the lower strings still gives me a hard time...). You can try and

play the power chords, but I guess sticking to the barred D and E won't make

such a big difference.

If you have questions or improvements, just leave a comment! :)
