         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                  
There's a man out on the corner, singing old songs about change everybody got their cross to bare, these 
G
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

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

I know Rome's still burning though the times have changed
