Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

1st verse:

He spends his nights in California,

Watching the stars on the big screen

Then he lies awake and he wonders,

Why can't that be me?

Cause in his life he's filled

 With all these good intentions

He's left a lot of things

 He'd rather not mention right now

 But just before he says goodnight,

He looks up with a little smile at me,

And he says...

Chorus

If I could be like that,

I would give anything

Just to live one day, in those shoes

If I could be like that,

 What would I do,

 What would I do?

2nd verse:

She spends her days up in the north park,

Watching the people as they pass

And all she wants is just

 A little piece of this dream,

Is that too much to ask?

 With a safe home, and a warm bed,

On a quiet little street

All she wants is just that something to

 Hold onto, that's all she needs

Yeah!

(Repeat chorus x3)
