that [G] they're never [C] impressed, [G] that they're never [C] impressed.
[D] From the way they [A] walk around, [Dm] from the way they walk around,
[G] they are used to [C] respect, [G] they are used to [C] respect.
[Am] I'm going to find myself [C] a dream, I'm going to find myself a dream.

[G] Just one thing before you go, [C] my lady's off tonight.
[G] Just one thing I have to [F] say, I've got you.

[C] The places don't run tight, with lonely echoes [F] all night.
[C] And some will hold on, while others find a [F] moment of time.

[G] they will hear [C] what you say, [G] they will hear what [C] you say.
