G                            D
He spends his nights in California
Em7                              C
Watching the stars on the big screen
G                          D
Then he lies awake and he wonders
Em7                C
Why can't that be me?

'Cause in his life he's filled with all these good intentions
He’s left a lot of things he’d rather not mention right now
But just before he says goodnight
He looks up with a little smile at me and he says

Chorus:
G
If I could be like that
D
I'd give anything
Em7                  C
Just to live one day in,
in those shoes.
G                    D
If I could be like that, what would I do?
Em7           C
What would I do?

Am       C        G  Bm C
Now in dreams we run.

She spends her days up in the north park
Watching the people as they pass
And all she wants is just a little piece of this dream
Is that too much to ask?

With a safe home, and a warm bed
On a quiet little street
All she wants is just that something to hold onto
That’s all she needs
Yeah

Chorus

Am           C       G
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh oh ooo yeah I'm falling into,
 Am       C        G    Bm C
this in dreams we run away.

Chorus:
If I could be like that
I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that
What would I do?
What would I do?
If I could be like that
I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that
What would I do?
What would I do?
If I could be like that
I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that
What would I do?
What would I do?

Falling in
I feel I'm falling in, to this again
