Intro: D  
I am a Dblurred out background Gspot, in that Aphoto on your wDall
DI'm of little signifiGcance, to anyAone here at aDll

DAlways broke but on the Gmove, Ahey hey
One Strum:*
D*                     G*                A*
I am a tourist in your sunny day, like a babysitter
D*                  G*             A*
When I see your dog smile, I cry inside a little
Chorus:
But it'Ds just so much to Gtouch, but Anever enough to Dhold
DWhen you live your Glife, through postAcards and telepDhones
DJust like the wind blowing Gthrough or that Atrain going chooDchoo
DWe were born with walking Gshoes, so I Aguess I'll be seeing Dyou
DWe were born with walking GshoesA  
DGod bless my Gsoul as I Atake his name in Dvain
DWe are cursed to be Gtravelers, in Asearch of fDame
DSo when we hit the hollywood Ghills we're gonna Ascream our Dnames
DHoping one day that they’ll GechooAooo
D*                          G*              A*
We are the tourists in your sunny day, both sweet and bitter
D*                           G*                 A*
And life’s just a work in progress, it makes us sigh a little
Chorus:
Cause it'Ds just so much to Gtouch, but Anever enough to Dhold
DWhen you live your Glife, through postAcards and telepDhones
DJust like the wind blowing Gthrough or that Atrain going chooDchoo
DWe were born with walking Gshoes, so I Aguess I'll be seeing Bmyou
