       C                      D                        Em
I was walking around, just a face in the crowd try to keep myself out of the rain
           C                   D                               Em
Saw a vagabond king wear a styrofoam crown wondered if I might end up the same
           C                 D           Em                C          D         Em
There's a man out on the corner, singing old songs about change everybody got their cross to bare, these days

             C                     D                        Em
She came looking for some shelter with a suitcase full of dreams
            C                        D                         Em
To a motel room on the boulevard I guess she's trying to be james dean
       C                     D             Em                 C        D             Em
She's seen all the disciples and all the 'wanna be's' no one wants to be themselfs these days
  C            D                  G
Still there's nothing to hold on to but these days

       C         D                 Em       C              D                     G
These days the stars ain't out of reach - these days there ain't a ladder from the streets oh no no
       C              D                      G               C            D            G
These days are fast, nothing lasts in this graceless age - there ain't nobody left but us these days

Jimmy shoes busted both his legs, trying to learn to fly
From a second story window, he just jumped and closed his eyes
His momma said he was crazy - he said momma "I've got to try" don't you know that all my heroes died
And I guess I rather die f f f fade away - yeah

       C         D             Em             C                    D               G
These days the stars ain't out of reach but these days there ain't a ladder from the streets oh no no
       C        D                       G             C             D         Em
These days are fast, nothing lasts it's a graceless age - even innocence has caught the midnight train
  C                 D                 G
There ain't nobody left but us these days

C         Am                         C                 Am
I know rome's still burning though the times have changed
  C         Am                 D                                    C
This world keeps turning round and round and round and round these days

[Solo]  C  G  D

These days the stars ain't out of reach but these days there ain't a ladder from the streets oh no no
These days are fast, nothing lasts it's a graceless age - even innocence has caught the midnight train
These days the stars ain't out of reach but these days there ain't a ladder from the streets oh no no
These days are fast, nothing last there ain't no time to waste - there ain't nobody left to take the blame

  C            D                      G
There ain't nobody left but us these days
