[First Part]

       C2
I was walking around
        D2
Just a face in the crowd
        Em9
Try to keep myself out of the rain
       C2
Saw a vagabond king wear
      D2
A styrofoam crown wondered
Em9
If I might end up the same
           C2             D2
There's a man out on the corner
 Em9                C2
Singing old songs about change
                      D2
Everybody got their cross to bare
       G
These days

[Second Part]

          C2                D2
She came looking for some shelter
        Em9
With a suitcase full of dreams
      C2                D2
To a motel room on the boulevard
                Em9
I guess she's trying to be james dean
       C2              D2
She's seen all the disciples
    Em9             C2
And all the 'wanna be's'
                 D                  Em9
No one wants to be themselfs these days
               C2
Still there's nothing
        D2          G
To hold on to but these days

[Chorus]

Continues after the ad
       C9        D/F#              Em7
These days the stars ain't out of reach
  C9             D/F#
These days there ain't a ladder
            G
From the streets oh no no
       C9
These days are fast
 D9                G/B          C9
Nothing lasts in this graceless age
                    D9           G
There ain't nobody left but us these days

[Third Part]

        C2               D2
Jimmy shoes busted both his legs
  Em9
Trying to learn to fly
        C2           D2
From a second story window
         Em9
He just jumped and closed his eyes
     C2                 D2
His momma said he was crazy
         Em9                 C9
He said momma "I've got to try"
                    D              Em9
Don't you know that all my heroes died
        C2            D2            G
And I guess I rather die f f f fade away yeah

[Chorus]

       C9        D/F#              Em7
These days the stars ain't out of reach
  C9             D/F#
These days there ain't a ladder
            G
From the streets oh no no
       C9
These days are fast
 D9                G/B          C9
Nothing lasts in this graceless age
                    D9           G
There ain't nobody left but us these days

( C  Am )

C         Am
  I know rome's still burning
C             Am
  Though the times have changed
C       Am                  D
  This world keeps turning round

And round and round and round these days
