A
It's nothing but the hits in a room downtown
G
They're noisy as hell but nice
Bm/F#
People don't usually get to play in there
A A
More than a time or twiceA
You had your regular spot
G They were even advertising your name Bm/F# Better than the usual thing you got F#m A/E Staying just ahead of the game
Ahead of the game

A And I can't tell you one thing new G About playing for the door Bm/F# Some of my dreams back there too A A With the sawdust on the floor A We're worn out and weary, all of us G But we know why we came Bm/F# Banged up and battered like this old bus F#m A/E Staying just ahead of the game E Ahead of the game
| E | x4
D/A
Bm A The sky's as big as nowhere A D/A Which is where we've been Bm A Left a dream behind there somewhere Bm Bm You've got to have a dream

A I gave your buddy a ride to the train G He was telling me he'd be back Bm/F# It was a red light shining, love in vain A A When we rolled across the tracks A Barista-bartender selling beat-up car G Needs a ticket for a bus or a plane Bm/F# Singer-songwriter heading for home F#m A/E Staying just ahead of the game E Ahead of the game
