[Verse 2]
G                        D/F#  Cadd9
Come upon different streets,        and they both were streets of shame

G                   D/F#   Cadd9
Both dirty, both mean,        and even your dream was just the same

And I dreamed your dream for you and     now the dream is real

where you can fall for chains of silver          you can fall for chains of gold

G                                 D/F#   Cadd9
you can fall for pretty strangers,           and the promises they hold

D/F#                       Cadd9  D/F#              G

[Verse 3]
G                     D/F#  Cadd9
And I can't do the talk          like the talk on the TV

G                         D/F#   Cadd9
And I can't do a love song          like the way it's meant to be

D/F#                   Cadd9  D/F#                       G
So all I do is kiss you          through the bars of a rhyme

C                              D/F#
Juliet I'd do the stars with you any time

You said there's a place for us,      you know the movie song

D/F#                Cadd9  D/F#
when you gonna realize      it was just that the time was wrong
