Intro C - D | em (6x)

Verse 1
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 G
There's a man out on the corner, singing old songs about change everybody got their cross to bare, these days.

Verse 2
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

Chorus
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

Verse 3 (like Verse 2)
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

Chorus
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

Bridge
C am C am
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 (4x)


Chorus
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


Chorus
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

There ain't nobody left but us these days
