Dm                        Bb
    Thought I might get a rocket ride
       F
When I was a child,
       C
But it was a lie
      Dm                  Bb               F     A
That I told myself when I needed something good.
Dm             Bb
   At 17 had a better dream
        F          C
Now I'm 33, and it isn't me.
       Dm                  Bb          A
But I'd think of something better if I could.

Gm                 Am
All my friends and lovers
     Dm Asus2 F  G
Will leave me behind,
Bb               F             A
   And I'm still looking for a girl.
Gm     Am 
One way  or another
         Dm        G      Bb
I'm just hoping to find a way
          F               Bb
To put my feet out in the world.

Dm                          Bb
   Caught some grief from a falling leaf
       F                C
As she tumbled into the dirty ground,
          Dm                    Bb             F     A
And said I  should have put her back there if I could.
Dm                       Bb
   Well everyone needs a better day,
        F                   C
And I'm tryin' to find me a better way.
      Dm                      Bb                  A
To get   through the things I do and the things I should.

Gm                 Am
All my friends and lovers
     Dm  Asus2 F  G
Will leave me alone.
Bb          F            A
  To try to have a little fun.
Gm          Am
One way or another
       Dm Asus2 F  G
I just wish I had known
Bb          F              Bb   F
  To go out walking in the sun.
Bb            F                      G#   Bb
  To find out if you were the one.
                            G#         Bb
Do you wanna come a little closer now
              G#                Bb
Do you wanna dance with me?
                            G#         Bb
Would you want it a little hotter now?

        Am      Bb
Can you see her waiting there?
        Am            Bb
Can you see her she's almost there?
        Am      Bb     
can you see her waiting there for someone like me?

Dm                        Bb
   Well all you want is a beauty queen,
          F
    not a superstar,
         C                        
But everybody's dream machine.
Dm                Bb               F     A
   All you want is a place to lay your head.
Dm                          Bb
   You go to sleep dreamin' how you would
     F                     C
Be a different kind if you thought you could,
       Dm                Bb            A
But you   come awake the way you are instead.

Gm                 Am
All my friends and lovers,
     Dm Asus2 F  G
They shine like the sun.
Bb              F            A
   Well I just turn and walk away.
Gm          Am
One way or another
        Dm Asus2 F  G
I'm not comin' undone.
Bb         F              Bb
  I'm just waiting for the day.
