verse:
       Em                                                            C
I keep my hopes and dreams inside of you amongst the other things my mother seems to never see the bruises
 that I'm covering,

 D                                               G                               F#
Never been known by my government name, my foster home is where I've been placed away from the pain,

            Em                                                     C
So as you sit before me with a folder holding my story, you're my savior with nothing on me but power and glory,
 D                                                G                        F#
And surely, you'll never ignore me , cos when the court came the court date was made to disappear for me,
         Em                                                     C
You think you understand me but never what I went through but you were never meant to I won't hold it against
 you,
D                                               G                               F#
I take a ballpoint pen to play dot to dot with the cigarette burns etched in my forearms,
 Em                                                     C
Forget me not never let me stop you'll just sit and watch it's your job to be patient so you'll let me off,
    D                               D
So come with me take a walk on the wild side, see life in a day through a child's eyes,

chorus:

   Em7                  C    D       G       F#
And these dreams are all-l I have,  to hold me,
 Em7                  C               D              G     D
When sleeps the only-y thing that I want to take me away, away,

verse:

  Em
Okay sessions over time to get back to the classroom
       C
I hate this lesson and I guess the teacher finds it hard to,
        D                                        G                              F#
You told me I should try my best but guess what I still find this trigonometry a head fuck,
 Em
Constantly told I won't pass my GCSE's,
      C
I'll end up in Mac D's, serving burgers and cheese,
       D
But you told me I can do anything if I put my mind to it,
            G                            F#
Mistakes make a change if you put a line through 'em,
 Em                                C
Lately classmates think I'm crazy turn up daily resembling bill bailey,
        D                                       G                                  F#
And I ain't saying that I can't be groomed with it without new clothes or shower it hard to do,
             Em                                                C
So after school you'll take me shopping for some new clothes but they'll get taken off me when I get back
to the group home,
     D                               D
So come with me take a walk on the wild side see life in a day through a child's eyes,

   Em7                  C    D       G        F#
And these dreams are all-l I have,  to hold me,
 Em7                  C       D              G    F#
