THESE DAYS

C	D	Em
I was wa	lking around, just a face 	in the crowd try to keep mys	elf out of the rain
 	C	D	Em
Saw a 	vagabond king wear 	a styrofoam crown wondered if I m	ight end up the same
 	C	D	Em	C
There's a ma	n out on the corner	, singin	g old songs about change
 	C	D	G	Lick1
 e	verybody got their c	ross to bare, these d	ays.
Verse 2

-------

 	C	D	Em
She came l	ooking 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	Lick2
She's seen all the disciples and all the 'wanna be's'no one wants to be themselfs these days
 	C	D	G	Lick3
 	Still there's nothing to 	hold on to but 	these days
Chorus

 	C	D	Em	Lick4
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
These 	days are fast, 	nothing lasts 	in this graceless 	age
 	C	D	G
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
His 	momma said he was 	crazy - he said "	momma I've got to try"
