      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


 E : fade-out
