A
It's nothing but the hits in a room downtown
G
They're noisy as hell but nice
Bm/F#
People don't usually get to play in there
A A
More than a time or twice
A
You had your regular spot
G
They were even advertising your name
Bm/F#
Better than the usual thing you got
F#m A/E
Staying just ahead of the game
Ahead of the game
E : x8
A
And I can't tell you one thing new
G
About playing for the door
Bm/F#
Some of my dreams back there too
A A
With the sawdust on the floor
A
We're worn out and weary, all of us
G
But we know why we came
Bm/F#
Banged up and battered like this old bus
F#m A/E
Staying just ahead of the game
E
Ahead of the game
E : x4
D/A
Bm A
The sky's as big as nowhere
A D/A
Which is where we've been
Bm A
Left a dream behind there somewhere
Bm Bm
You've got to have a dream

A
I gave your buddy a ride to the train
G
He was telling me he'd be back
Bm/F#
It was a red light shining, love in vain
A A
When we rolled across the tracks
A
Barista-bartender selling beat-up car
G
Needs a ticket for a bus or a plane
Bm/F#
Singer-songwriter heading for home
F#m A/E
Staying just ahead of the game
E
Ahead of the game
