I was [C]walking around, just a f[D]ace in the crowd

Trying to [Em]keep myself out of the rain

[D]Saw a [C]vagabond king wear a s[D]tyrofoam crown

Wondered [Em]if I might end up the same

There'[D]s a [C]man out on the c[D]orner

[Em]Singing old songs ab[C]out change

Everybody's got the[D]ir cross to bear, th[G]ese days

 

She came [C]looking for some sh[D]elter with a [Em]suitcase full of dreams

[D]To a [C]motel room on the bou[D]levard

I guess she's [Em]trying to be James Dean[D]

She's [C]seen all the dis[D]ciples and [Em]all the "wanna b[C]e's"

No one wants to b[D]e themselves these d[Em]ays

Still there's [C]nothing to hold o[D]n to but the[G]se days

 

These [C]days - the s[D]tars hang out of [Em]reach

These [C]days - there ain't a [D]ladder on the s[G]treets

[G]Oh no no

These [C]days are fast, [D]nothing lasts, [G]in this graceless [C]age

There ain't nobody le[D]ft but us th[G]ese days

 

Jimmy [C]shoes busted bo[D]th his legs, t[Em]rying to learn to fly

[D]From a [C]second story wi[D]ndow, he just [Em]jumped and closed his eyes

His [C]momma said he was c[D]razy - he said [Em]momma "I've got to t[C]ry"

Don't you know that a[D]ll my heroe[Em]s died

And I [C]guess I'd rather di[D]e than fade a[G]way yeah

 

These [C]days - the s[D]tars hang out of [Em]reach

These [C]days - there ain't a [D]ladder on the s[G]treets

[G]Oh no no

These [C]days are fast, [D]nothing lasts, [G]in this graceless [C]age

Even innocence has c[D]aught the midnight t[Em]rain

There [C]ain't nobody le[D]ft but us the[G]se days

[C]　[Am]　[C]　[Am]

 

[C]I don't know Ro[Am]me's still burning[C]

Though the t[Am]imes have changed[C]

This wo[Am]rld keeps turning [D]round and round and round and round

Th[C]ese days

[G]　[D]　[Dsus4]　[D]　[C]　[G]　[D]　[Dsus4]　[D]　[C]　[Em]　[D]　[Dsus4]　[D]　[C]　[G]　[D]　[Dsus4]　[D]

 

These [C]days - the s[D]tars hang out of [Em]reach, yeah

But these [C]days - there ain't a [D]ladder on the s[G]treets

[G]Oh no no

These [C]days are fast, [D]nothing lasts, [G]in this graceless [C]age

Even innocence has c[D]aught the midnight t[Em]rain

 

These [C]days - the s[D]tars hang out of [Em]reach, yeah

But these [C]days - there ain't a [D]ladder on the s[G]treets

[G]Oh no no

These [C]days are fast, [D]nothing lasts

There [G]ain't no time to w[C]aste

There ain't nobody le[D]ft to take the bl[Em]ame

[Em]Oh no no

There [C]ain't nobody le[D]ft but us th[G]ese days[C]　[D]　[Em]

[C]Ain't nobody le[D]ft but us th[G]ese days

[C]　[D]　[Em]　[C]　[D]　[G]　[C]　[D]　[Em]　[C]　[D]　[Em]
