C D I was walking around, just a face in the crowd Em7 Em Trying to keep myself out of the rain C D Saw a vagabond king wear a styrofoam crown Em7 Em Wondered if I might end up the same C D There's a man out on the corner Em7 C Singing old songs about change D G Everybody's got their cross to bear, these days 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 wannabes No one wants to be themselves these days Still there's nothing to hold on to but these days Chorus: C D Em7 Em These days, the stars seem out of reach C D G These days, there ain't a ladder on these streets, no no no C D G C These days, are fast, love don't last in this graceless age C D G There ain't nobody left but us these days Jimmy Shoes, he 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'd rather die than f-f-fade away", yeah Chorus Am C I know Rome's still burning Am C Though the times have changed Am D This world keeps turning round and round and round and round C G D C G D These days Chorus: These days, the stars seem out of reach, yeah These days, there ain't a ladder on the streets, oh no no These days are fast, love don't last, it's a graceless age Even innocence has caught the midnight train These days, the stars seem out of reach, yeah These days, there ain't a ladder on the streets, oh no no These days are fast, nothing lasts, there ain't no time to waste There ain't nobody left to take the blame Oh no no no, ain't nobody left but us these days Ain't nobody left but us these days | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  C  D  Em  Em7  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
