[Dm]Thought I might get a rocket[Bb] ride
When I was [F]a child but it was a lie[C]
That I t[Dm]old myself when I needed s[Bb]omething good[A]
[Dm]At seventeen, had a bette[Bb]r dream.
Now I'm thir[F]ty-three and it isn't me[C]
But I'd [Dm]think of something better [Bb]if I could[A]
[---]
CHORUS:
[Bb]All my friends and lovers[Am] leave [Dm-C-Am-G]me behind
[Bb]I'm still [F]looking for a girl[A]
[Bb]One way or anoth[Am]er, I'm just hoping [Dm-C-Am-G]to find
A way.[Bb]..
To put my feet [F]out in the world[Bb][F]
[---]
[Dm]Caught some grief from a fallin[Bb]g leaf
As she tum[F]bled down to the dirty ground[C]
Said I s[Dm]hould have put her back th[Bb]ere if I could[A]
[Dm]But everyone needs a bett[Bb]er day
And I'm tryi[F]ng to find me a better way[C]
To get f[Dm]rom the things I do to the[Bb] things I should[A]
[---]
CHORUS:
[Bb]All my friends and lovers[Am] leave [Dm-C-Am-G]me alone
[Bb]To try to [F]have a little fun[A]
[Bb]One way or anoth[Am]er I just wish I [Dm-C-Am-G]had known
[Bb]To go out w[F]alking in the sun[Bb][F]
[Bb]And find out if y[F]ou were the one...[Ab][Bb]
Does it make you wanna come a little closer now?[Ab][Bb]
And did you wanna dance with [Ab]me?[Bb]
Did you wanna hum a little harder now?[Ab][Bb]
Can you see h[Am]er waitin[Bb]g there?
Can you see h[Am]er? Because I'm almost ther[Bb]e
Can you see h[Am]er waitin[Bb]g there for someone
like me?[F][Bb][F][Bb]
[----]
[Dm]All you want is a bea[Bb]uty queen
Not a su[F]perstar but everybody's dr[C]eam machine
[Dm]All you want is a pla[Bb]ce to lay your head[A]
[Dm]You go to sleep dreaming how yo[Bb]u would
Be a d[F]ifferent kind if you thought y[C]ou could
But you come[Dm] awake the way you are[Bb] instead[A]
[---]
CHORUS:
[Bb]All my friends and lovers[Am] shine lik[Dm-C-Am-G]e the sun
[Bb]I just tur[F]n and walk away[A]
[Bb]One way or anoth[Am]er, I'm not coming u[Dm-C-Am-G]ndone
[Bb]I'm just wa[F]iting for the day[Bb]
When I was [F]a child but it was a lie[C]
