[D#m] [D#]
You see [C#]
[D#m] [C#]
[D#m]
when I [C#] grew up in New Jersey we had a couple of [D#] buddies of mine who [C#] used to think
we were going to rule the universe.
[D#]
What happened one [C#] day is [D#m] as we grew up, [C#] got out of high school, [D#] one of them actually [G#] got
a scholarship [C#] to go play baseball.
[D#m]
And me, [D#] I was in a bar [C#] playing, writing songs.
[D#] [A#m]
He got a [C#] phone call one day.
[D#]
It was his [C#] girlfriend.
She said [D#m] she was pregnant.
[C#] [F#] [F] Now, [D#] he had to hang up those cleats.
[C#] He had to [D#m] retire the baseball glove.
[C#] And all these years [D#m] later, [D#] I guess all he has [C#] left is that dream.
So like a [D#m] long distance dedication, [C#]
the names have been changed [D#] to protect the innocent.
[G#] [A#m] [D#m] This is for [G#] anyone who ever felt [C#] like Paul and Gina.

We got [B] to [C#] hold on to what [D#m] we've got.
[B] It [C#] doesn't make no difference if we make it or [D#m]
not.
[B] We got [C#] each other and that's [D#m] a lot [B] for love.
[C#] We'll give it a shot.
[D#] [B] Oh, [C#] if we [F#] give [B] up.
[C#] If we give up.
[D#]
[B] [C#] I
[F#] [B] [C#]
said, [D#m]
[B] oh, [C#]
[F#] if we [B] give up.
[C#] If we give up.
[D#] [B]
[C#] We'll make it, I [F#] swore.
[B] Oh, [C#] we'll be living in the present.
[C#m] [F#] [C#m]

The shoes wear [E]
skin [C#] away.
I love the place where [F#] the [B] faces [F#] are so cold.
You try more nights to [C#m] get back [C#] home.
Cause [B] I'm a cowboy [F#] on [E] a [D#m] skew, [C#] on a tower.

[C#] Live a little life.

Oh, [E] girls, [C#] it's everywhere.
Time to tell the tales.

And I'm [F#] standing tall.
[B] Baby, I've seen [F#] a million faces.
And I'm a [C#] rock n' roll.
