The gentleman's in the lane
 G6                   Cadd9
Spinning his hat on a cane

Stepping out, out for a change

Good morning all, it's a beautiful day

The generals are winning the war
 G6                 Cadd9           Asus
Seemed suicidal before you came along
        C
Now, now

I'll protect you, long as you'll stay

Morning had to come, I'd be walking in the sun

Living in the day

But last night I was about to throw it all away

Verse:
E                     F#11
If patience started a band
    G6             Cadd9
I'd be her biggest fan
         Asus               C
Look at me, I'm talking to you
             D6add9           Fmaj7    C   riff
I don't want the lead in your play

E                             F#11
The star's just a part of the scene
     G6          Cadd9
The gentleman in green
         Asus            C
Paying off, out on the street
             D6add9            Fmaj7    C
I can't go home, it's not on my way

Things I'd never done. Cars parked under the sun
G6            F#11
Living in the day
         C                    D6add9          E
But last night I was about to throw it all away
      C                    D6add9        E
Last night I was about to throw it all away
      C                    D6add9        E
Last night I was about to throw it all away
      C                    D6add9        E
Last night I was about to throw it all away
