"Man i just wanna be somebody"
C F
Julie's got the word today
C Am G
She lost her job just one last pay
C F C Am
Life don't come easy anymore
G C F
Still strugglin'on by herself
C
Got a picture of Jimmy
Am G
There on the shelf
C
And she looks at him and says
F C G/B
Why did we let it go
Am Em
I know that sometimes, baby
F C G/B
We didn't see things eye-to-eye
Am Em
I got just one question
F G
Did we have to say goodbye?
C F
Just like prisoners in paradise
C F
Still far from heaven's door
C G/B Am
We had it all but still we
G F Dm
Wanted more
G F G
Now I realize that I can't turn back
Am G F
The future's here to stay
C G
But hey, we're just children of tomorrow
F G Am F G
Hangin' on to yesterday
C F
Jimmy still recalls the night
C
When he took his guitar
Am G
And headed on out
C F
To find the big time
C Am
That was his dream
G C
He gave up his past
F
And made it alright
C
But there's something missin'
Am G
In his heart tonight
C F
Sometimes what you want
C G/B
Ain't what you need, no no
Am
He misses drivin' down
Em
To the lake at night
F
Holdin' his baby
C G/B
In his arms so tight
Am Em
Ain't it hard to find illusions
F G
When you're livin' in a memory
C F
Just like prisoners in paradise
C F
So close but yet so far
C
There will come a time
G/B Am G F Dm
No matter who you are
G F
When you ask yourself
G
Was it right or wrong
Am G F
For me to turn away
C G
But hey, we're just children of tomorrow
F G C
Hangin' on to yesterday
C
Prisoners in paradise, uhmmm
C G/B Am G F
Prisoners in paradise, yeah
G C F
We prisoners in paradise
C F
Still far from heaven's door
C G/B Am
We had it all but still we
G F
Wanted more
G C F
We just prisoners in paradise
C F
So close but yet so far
C
There will come a time
G/B Am G F Dm
No matter who you are
G F
When you ask yourself
G
Was it right or wrong
Am G F
For me to turn away

But hey, we're just children of tomorrow
