[Intro]

G
 
 
[Verse]

     C
It's nothing but the hits

 in a room downtown
                          Bb
They're noisy as heck but nice
Dm
People don't usually 

get to play in there
                    C
More than a time or twice
C
You had you a regular spot
                         
They were even advertising
      Bb
 your name 
Dm
Better than the 

usual thing you got
                          Am    C
Staying just ahead of the game
             G
Ahead of the game
 
 
[Instrumental]

G
 
 
[Verse]

    C
And I can't tell you 

one thing new
                      Bb
About playing for the door
Dm
Some of my dreams 

back there too
                        C
With the sawdust on the floor
      C
We're worn out and weary, 

all of us
            Bb
But we know why we came
Dm
Banged up the battered 

like this old bus
                          Am   C
Staying just ahead of the game
             G
Ahead of the game
 
 
[Bridge]

F             Dm
 The sky's as big as nowhere
C
 Which is where 

we've been
F               Dm
 Left a dream behind

 there somewhere
C              Dm
 You've got to have a dream
 
 
[Instrumental]

C Bb Dm C
C Bb Dm Am C
G
 
 
[Verse]

  C
I gave your buddy 

a ride to the train
                 
He was telling me 
        Bb
he'd be back
         Dm
It was a red light shining, 

love in vain
               
When we rolled 
           C
across the tracks
  C
Barista-bartender 

selling beat-up car
                   
Needs a ticket for 
           Bb
a bus or a plane
Dm
Singer-songwriter header for home
                          Am   C
Staying just ahead of the game
             G
Ahead of the game
 
 
[Outro]
