Verse 1

DmDm       Dm7Dm7   G+G    C majorC    G+G   A minorAm
  I was never one for singing  what I really feel
FF            DmDm  G+G              A minorAm
  Except tonight I'm bringin'  everything I know is real
C majorC          G+G         G7G7    Bb majorBb
Stars they come and go They come fast they come slow
         A augmentedA         A7A7      DmDm  FF
They go like the last light of the sun all in a blaze
          G+G   FF G+G G7G7
They always have a story
  A minorAm       Am7Am7     C majorC          A minorAm  FF
But it gets lonely here when theres no one here to share
             DmDm FF         G7G7
We can shake it all away   If you'll hear a story

Verse 2

C majorC          G+G           Bb majorBb  A minorAm
People lust for fame  like athletes in a game
          G7G7        DmDm
We break our collar bones and come up swinging
          Dm7Dm7
Some of us are down  some are crowned
FF              G+G
some are lost an never found
G7G7         C majorC  G+G
Those thats seen it all
Bb majorBb            Am7Am7     DmDm
they live their lives in sad cafes an music halls
Dm7Dm7        G+G   G7G7
They always have a story

Verse 3

   Dm7Dm7          C majorC
Some make it when they're young
G+G          Bb majorBb       Am7Am7
Before the world has done it's dirty job
 DmDm          FF
Later on someone will say you've had your day
       G+G    C majorC G+G
Now you must make way

Verse 4

         G7G7   C majorC  G+G
Some make it when they're old
Bb majorBb          A minorAm       DmDm       FF
Perhaps they have a soul they're not afraid to bare
              G+G   G7G7
Or perhaps there's nothin' there

Verse 5

C majorC          G+G              Bb majorBb
Stars they come and go They come fast they come slow
         A augmentedA        A7A7      DmDm  FF
They go like the last light of the sun all in a blaze
          G+G   A minorAm G+G G7G7
And all they see is glory

Verse 6

A minorAm           Am7Am7       C majorC
So if you don't lose patientce with my fumblin' around
FF
I'll come up singin' for you
G+G       C majorC  G+G Am7Am7       DmDm
Even when I'm down    I'll come up singing
G+G

G7G7    C majorC G+G

I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway
   FF

And nice guys get washed away like the snow an the rain

Well I really don't mind the rain and a smile can hide all the pain

But your down when you're ridin' the train thats taking the long way
  FF
And I dream of the things I'll do with a subway token an a dollar tucked

 Am7Am7    C majorC  G+G C majorC
inside my shoe
