[Dm]Thought I might [Bb]get a rocket ride,
[F]When I was a child [C]but it was a lie,
[Dm]That I told myself [Bb]when I needed something good,
[F]At seventeen, had [A]a better dream,
[Dm]Now I'm thirty-three [Bb]and it isn't me,
[F]But I'd think of [C]something better if I could.
[Dm]All my friends and [Bb]lovers leave me behind,
[A]And I'm still [Gm]looking for a girl,
[Am]One way [Dm]or another,
[Asus2]I'm just hoping [F]to find a way,
[G]To put my feet [Bb]out in the world.
[F]Caught some grief [A]from a falling leaf,
[Gm]As she tumbled down [Am]to the dirty ground,
[Dm]Said I should have put [G]her back there if I could,
[Bb]But everyone needs [F]a better day,
[Bb]And I'm trying to [Dm]find me a better way,
[Bb]To get from the things I [F]do to the things I should.
[C]All my friends and [Dm]lovers leave me alone,
[Bb]To try to [F]have a little fun,
[A]One way or another I [Dm]just wish I had known,
[Bb]To go out [F]walking in the sun,
[C]And find out if [Dm]you were the one.
[Bb]Does it make you wanna [A]come a little closer now?
[Gm]And did you [Am]wanna dance with me?
[Dm]Did you wanna hum [Asus2]a little harder now?
[F]Can you see [G]her waiting there?
[Bb]Can you see her? [F]because I'm almost there,
[A]Can you see her waiting [Gm]there for someone like me?
[Am]All you want [Dm]is a beauty queen,
[Asus2]Not a superstar [F]but everybody's dream machine,
[G]All you want is a [Bb]place to lay your head,
[F]You go to sleep [Bb]dreaming how you would,
[F]Be a different kind [Bb]if you thought you could,
[F]But you come awake [G#]the way you are instead.
[Bb]All my friends and [G#]lovers shine like the sun,
[Bb]I just turn [G#]and walk away,
[Bb]One way or another [G#]I'm not coming undone,
[Bb]I'm just waiting [Am]for the day,
[Bb]All my [Am]friends have,
[Bb]All my [Am]friends have.
