VERSE1
(C#m) F#m* C#m
I don't have much money or a place to sleep

I've found me some friends and been awake all week
A* F#m
I crawl out and try and find my way home
A* F#m
I beg for some change beside the pay phone

But I dream

(C#m) F#m* C#m
I scraped my feet down the street where we once were small
F#m* C#m
The flats we used to hide in now don't seem so tall
A* F#m
And I remember all the faces and the chases we had
A* F#m
All the fights at night, the blacks and whites, the bluff from the step
VERSE4
F#m* C#m
I take a look at my reflection and it don't look pleased
F#m* C#m
I tell myself I'm precious then I jump to please

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

Come with me'
