[Intro]
Dm

[Verse 1]
Dm                  C                   Am
standing under an overpass in the rain
                        Bb
looks like we’ve been stranded once again
Dm                  C                  Am                        Bb
and there is not a lonelier sound than the wheels on the ground above

[Verse 2]
Dm                C Am              Bb
    the cars pass by and so does a normal life
            Dm        C
and why are we left behind?
              Am
as our dreams die
                         Bb                        Dm    C   Bb  F  Am
we got so much more in common with the corner dwellers

[Verse 3]
Dm                  C                                     Am
  sitting next to a brand new friend of mine, shares his fifth of jim with me,
       Bb
got a twinkle in his eye
Dm                        C                            Am
   beats the hell out of everyones cold stare, looking but not really there,
        Bb
but we catch the unprepared, sometimes

[Verse 4]
Dm               C            Am                  Bb
    It’s him and me, invisible    ghosts of the street
       Dm                              C                     Am
every grin we share is like a prayer committed to the song we sing
       Bb
and it goes

[Outro]
         Dm
give me hope
         C
I’ve got nowhere else to go
        Bb
I don’t know
          F
if I can wake another day
        Am
in the cold

on my own
         Dm
give me hope
         C
I’ve got nowhere else to go
        Bb
I don’t know
          F
if I can wake another day
        Am
in the cold

         Dm
give me hope
         C
I’ve got nowhere else to go
        Bb
I don’t know
          F
if I can wake another day
        Am
in the cold

on my own
         Dm
give me hope
         C
I’ve got nowhere else to go
        Bb
I don’t know
          F
if I can wake another day
        Am
in the cold

on my own
         Dm
give me hope
