[Verse 1]
C D Em
I was walking around, just a face in the crowd try to keep myself out of the rain
C D Em
Saw a vagabond king wear a styrofoam crown wondered if I might end up the same
C D Em C D G
There's a man out on the corner, singing old songs about change everybody got their cross to bear, these days
[Verse 2]
C D Em
She came looking for some shelter with a suitcase full of dreams
C D Em
To a motel room on the boulevard I guess she's trying to be James Dean
C D Em C D Em
She's seen all the disciples and all the 'wanna be's' no one wants to be themselves these days
C D G
Still there's nothing to hold on to but these days
[Chorus]
C D Em C D G
These days the stars ain't out of reach - These days there ain't a ladder from the streets oh no no
C D G C D G
These days are fast, nothing lasts in this graceless age - There ain't nobody left but us these days
[Verse 3]
C D Em
Jimmy shoes busted both his legs, trying to learn to fly
C D Em
From a second story window, he just jumped and closed his eyes
C D Em C D Em
His momma said he was crazy - he said momma "I've got to try" Don't you know that all my heroes died
C D G
And I guess I rather die f f f fade away - yeah
[Chorus]
C D Em C D G
These days the stars ain't out of reach But these days there ain't a ladder from the streets oh no no
C D G C D Em
These days are fast, nothing lasts it's a graceless age - Even innocence has caught the midnight train
C D G
There ain't nobody left but us these days
[Bridge]
C Am C Am
C Am C Am
I know Rome's still burning though the times have changed
C Am D C

This world keeps turning round and round and round and round these days

These days the stars ain't out of reach But these days there ain't a ladder from the streets oh no no
C D G C D Em
These days are fast, nothing lasts it's a graceless age - Even innocence has caught the midnight train
C D Em C D G
These days the stars ain't out of reach But these days there ain't a ladder from the streets oh no no
C D G C D Em
These days are fast, nothing last there ain't no time to waste - There ain't nobody left to take the blame
C D G
There ain't nobody left but us these days
C D Em C D G
