Verse 1
         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 story from a crown wondered if I might end up the same
          C                   D           Em               C         D            Em
There's a man out on the corner, singing old songs about change everybody got their cross to bare, these days.

Verse 2
               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

Chorus
      C           D                Em          C               D                  G
These days the stars ain't out of reach - These days there ain't a ladder from the streets oh no no
     C               D                       G             C             D            G
These days are fast, nothing lasts in this graceless age - There ain't nobody left but us these days

Verse 3 (like Verse 2)
Jimmy shoes busted both his legs, trying to learn to fly
From a second story window, he just jumped and closed his eyes
His momma said he was crazy - he said momma "I've got to try" Don't you know that all my heroes died
And I guess I rather die f f f fade away - yeah

Chorus
       C           D               Em             C                    D             G
These days the stars ain't out of reach But these days there ain't a ladder from the streets oh no no
        C           D                       G              C             D           Em
These days are fast, nothing lasts it's a graceless age - Even innocence has caught the midnight train
C                 D                   G
There ain't nobody left but us these days

C         Am                        C                            Am
I know Rome's still burning though the times have changed
C         Am                  D                                    (C)
This world keeps turning round and round and round and round these days

Chorus
These days the stars ain't out of reach But these days there ain't a ladder from the streets oh no no
These days are fast, nothing lasts it's a graceless age - Even innocence has caught the midnight train


Chorus
These days the stars ain't out of reach But these days there ain't a ladder from the streets oh no no
These days are fast, nothing last there ain't no time to waste - There ain't nobody left to take the blame

C             D                            G
There ain't nobody left but us these days
