Now I'm standin' at the door but the door is locked

If you please, mister, I can sleep out here tonight

Bridge:

            G
How can you know the hard times I've had?

     F
Kept waiting and almost left for dead

        Am
I got a needle streakin' in my veins

             G
I've come to sew a bright new star on the face of your flag


            F       G                   C
I'm a world away, right outside your window

      F                        C                        G
I got money in my pocket and I brought a nice bottle of wine

                   F     G             C
I think I'm on the list, do you see my name there?

            F                     C                    G
I've come a long hard way and I'm lookin' for a better time
