VERSE1
I don't have much money or a place to sleep
I've found me some friends and been awake all week
I crawl out and try and find my way home
I beg for some change beside the pay phone
VERSE2
I'm gonna take her away from this big bad world
She calls me a dreamer, I call her my girl
But she can't stand to see my face, no
She said she's never had to look at such a waster
But I dream
CHORUS
And as I'm walkin' away
She asks me to dance
I fall through the stars
She tells my this is my last chance
As I dream
For all of my friends
Who fail to see
There's more to life than meetin' ends
BRIDGE
And I'm all on my own again
To face this world, afraid
But she don't care
INTRO
VERSE3
I scraped my feet down the street where we once were small
The flats we used to hide in now don't seem so tall
And I remember all the faces and the chases we had
All the fights at night, the blacks and whites, the bluff from the step
VERSE4
I take a look at my reflection and it don't look pleased
I tell myself I'm precious then I jump to please
She said 'Son, when's the last time you rested your head?
Oh, your face will tell your frame is frail when you're lookin' dead
Come with me'
CHORUS
And as I'm walkin' away
She asks me to dance
I fall through the stars
She tells my this is my last chance
As I dream
For all of my friends
Who fail to see
There's more to life than meetin' ends
BRIDGE
And I'm all on my own again
To face this world, afraid
But she don't care
BREAK
OUTRO (a bit slower and more quiet, picking might be best here)
And as I'm walkin' away
She asks me to dance
I fall through the stars
She tells my this is my last chance
As I dream
For all of my friends
Who fail to see
There's more to life than meetin' ends... oh
