Key: A
Introduction:
A
I had to prove that I could make it alone
E7
But that's not me
A
I wanted to show how independent I'd grown now
E7
But that's not me
Bm/F# E7
I could try to be big in the eyes of the world
Bm/F# E7 C#m7 F#7M G#m7/F#
What matters to me is what I could be to just one girl
F#7M
I'm a little bit scared
G#m7/F# F#7M G#m7/F#
Cause I haven't been home in a long time
B
You needed my love
B7 E E7
And I know that I left at the wrong time
A
My folks when I wrote them
E7
Told 'em what I was up to said that's not me
A
I went through all kinds of changes
E7
Took a look at myself and said that's not me
Bm/F# E7
I miss my pad and the places I've known
Bm/F# E7 C#m7 F#7M G#m7/F#
And every night as I lay there alone I would dream
F#7M
I once had a dream
G#m7/F# F#7M G#m7/F#
So I packed up and split for the city
G7M Am7/G G7M Am7/G
I soon found out that my lonely life wasn't so pretty
C C7 F F7
I'm glad I went now I'm that much more sure that we're ready
F#7M
I once had a dream
G#m7/F# F#7M G#m7/F#
So I packed up and split for the city
F#7M G#m7/F# F#7M G#m7/F#
I soon found out that my lonely life wasn't so pretty
