[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] G
