         C                    D                        Em
I was walking around, just a face in the crowd try to keep myself out of the rain
          C                D                        Em
Saw a vagabond king wear a styrofoam crown wondered if I might end up the same
          C              D        Em                 C                        
There's a man out on the corner, singing old songs about change everybody got
      D                       G
 their cross to bare, these days.
         C                 D             Em
She came looking for some shelter with a suitcase full of dreams
      C                D                       Em
To a motel room on the boulevard I guess she's trying to be James Dean
      C                  D       Em               C                   D                   Em
She's seen all the disciples and all the 'wanna be's' no one wants to be themselfs these days
               C               D          G
Still there's nothing to hold on to but these days
       C        D7                 Em7           C          D7                         G
These days the stars ain't out of reach - These days there ain't a ladder from the streets oh no no
       C             D7             G                 C                        D7               
These days are fast,love don`t last in this graceless age - There ain't nobody left 
          G
but us these days
        C           D               Em             
Jimmy shoes busted both his legs, trying to learn to fly
         C            D              Em
From a second story window, he just jumped and closed his eyes
    C                  D               Em                C
His momma said he was crazy - he said momma "I've got to try
                     D           Em
Don't you know that all my heroes died
       C              D        G       G7      
And I guess I rather die fade away - yeah
