Tom: Am
Am C G Am
[Verse 1]
Am C
And I was feeling just a bit beat down and so I started on the sidewalks of this lonely town
G
And I wonder
Am
if it's just me or if the city's getting colder and the street life's getting bolder and
Am C
I'm cuttin corners even though I'm months straight and I was so close behind you but I guess you couldn't wait
G
And I wondered
Am
why the hell I didn't see you coming sooner so I could pick it or lose it
C
hey hey
G
hey hey
[Chorus]
F Am
I'm standing on the corner dreaming that I'm leaving the ground.
C
hey hey
G
hey hey
F Am
I'm leaning on a shoulder even though there's no one around.
[Verse 2]
Am C
And I was feeling like a million bucks and so I started for the pennies just to test my luck
G
and I wonder
Am
why I bother these problems when I know I won't solve them and
Am C
I was thinkin in case the times get mean that I should keep my bags packed and keep my records clean.
G
But i wonder
Am
how the hell I'm gonna keep from going under when there's lightning and there's thunder
C
hey hey
G
hey hey
[Chorus]
F Am
I'm standing on the corner dreaming that I'm leaving the ground.
C
hey hey
G
hey hey
F Am
I'm leaning on a shoulder even though there's no one around.
[Interlude]
F C G
Ooh baby when I see you when the lights go down.
F
oh you know
C G F F C G
I always laugh and I was running but I did not know that you were right here, right now, I see you again,
F
and I go on.
