Intro
C - D | Em (x6)
Verse 1
I was walking around, just a face in the crowd try to keep myself out of the rain
Saw a vagabond king wear a styrofoam crown wondered if I might end up the same
There's a man out on the corner, singing old songs about change everybody got their cross to bear, these days
Verse 2
She came looking for some shelter with a suitcase full of dreams
To a motel room on the boulevard I guess she's trying to be James Dean
She's seen all the disciples and all the 'wanna be's' no one wants to be themselves these days
Still there's nothing to hold on to but these days
Chorus
These days the stars ain't out of reach - These days there ain't a ladder from the streets oh no no
These days are fast, nothing lasts in this graceless age - There ain't nobody left but us these days
Verse 3
Jimmy shoes busted both his legs, trying to learn to fly
From a second story window, he just jumped and closed his eyes
His momma said he was crazy - he said momma "I've got to try" Don't you know that all my heroes died
And I guess I rather die f f f fade away - yeah
Chorus
These days the stars ain't out of reach But these days there ain't a ladder from the streets oh no no
These days are fast, nothing lasts it's a graceless age - Even innocence has caught the midnight train
There ain't nobody left but us these days
Bridge
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
Solo
C G D (x4)
Chorus
These days the stars ain't out of reach But these days there ain't a ladder from the streets oh no no
These days are fast, nothing lasts it's a graceless age - Even innocence has caught the midnight train
These days the stars ain't out of reach But these days there ain't a ladder from the streets oh no no
These days are fast, nothing last there ain't no time to waste - There ain't nobody left to take the blame
There ain't nobody left but us these days

There ain't nobody left but us these days
