Dm Bb
Thought I might get a rocket ride
F
When I was a child,
C
But it was a lie.
Dm Bb F A
That I told myself when I needed something good.
Dm Bb
At 17 had a better dream
F C
Now I'm 33, and it isn't me.
Dm Bb A
But I'd think of something better if I could.


Gm A
All my friends and lovers
Dm G
Will leave me behind,
Bb F A
And I'm still looking for a girl.
Gm A
One way or another
Dm G Bb
I'm just hoping to find a way
F Bb
To put my feet out in the world.


Dm Bb
Caught some grief from a falling leaf
F C
As she tumbled into the dirty ground,
Dm Bb F A
And said I should have put her back there if I could.
Dm Bb
Well everyone needs a better day,
F C
And I'm tryin' to find me a better way.
Dm Bb A
To get through the things I do and the things I should.


Gm A
All my friends and lovers
Dm G
Will leave me alone.
Bb F A
To try to have a little fun.
Gm A
One way or another
Dm G
I just wish I had known
Bb F Bb F
To go out walking in the sun.
Bb F G# Bb
To find out if you were the one.
G# Bb
Do you wanna come a little closer now

G# Bb
G# Bb


Am Bb
Can you see her waiting there?
Am Bb
Can you see her she's almost there?
Am Bb
can you see her waiting there for someone like me?

Dm Bb
Well all you want is a beauty queen,
F
But not a superstar,
C Dm
But everybody's dream machine.
Bb F A
All you want is a place to lay your head.
Dm Bb
You go to sleep dreamin' how you would
F C
Be a different kind if you thought you could,
Dm Bb A
But you come awake the way you are instead.


Gm A
All my friends and lovers,
Dm G
They shine like the sun.
Bb F A
Well I just turn and walk away.
Gm A
One way or another
Dm G
I'm not comin' undone.
Bb F Bb
I'm just waiting for the day.
