GC
I keep my hopes and dreams inside of you
G
amongst the other things my mother seems to never see
Gm
the bruises that I'm covering,
CF
Never been known by my government name,
DEm
my foster home is where I've been placed away from the pain,
GC
so as you sit before me with a folder holding my story,
AD
you're my saviour with nothing on me but power and glory,
GC
And surely you'll never ignore me
BG
cos when the the court came the court date was made to disappear for me,
CD
You think you understand me but never what I went through
GC
but you were never meant to I won't hold it against you,
GCGD
I take a ballpoint pen to play dot to dot with the cigarette burns etched in my forearms,
GEm
Forget me not never let me stop you'll just sit and watch
GC
It's your job to be patient so you'll let me off,
[CHORUS]
GDGB
So come with me take a walk on the wild side, see life in a day through a child's eyes,
CAmGEmDEmG
And these dreams are all I have, to hold me,
CAmGEmDEm
When sleeps the only thing that I want to take me away, away,
[VERSE 2]
GCG
Okay sessions over time to get back to the classroom I hate this lesson and
Gm
I guess the teacher finds it hard to,
CFEmG
You told me I should try my best but guess what I still find this trigonometry a head fuck,
CB
Constantly told I won't pass my GCSE's,
GC
I'll end up in Mac D's serving burgers and cheese,
FC
But you told me I can do anything if I put my mind to it,
GEm
Mistakes make a change if you put a line through 'em,
CGEmA
Lately classmates think I'm crazy turn up daily resembling bill bailey,
GCEmD
And I ain't saying that I can't be groomed with it without new clothes or shower it hard to do,
GmC
So after school you'll take me shopping for some new clothes
GD
but they'll get taken off me when I get back to the group home,
[CHORUS]
GDGB
So come with me take a walk on the wild side, see life in a day through a child's eyes,
CAmGEmDEmG
And these dreams are all I have, to hold me,
CAmGEmDEm
When sleeps the only thing that I want to take me away, away,
