Capo di fret ke-4

      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 twice

A

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

| E | x8

      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 | A | A | G |
| Bm | Bm | Bm | A |

| A | A | A | G |
| Bm | Bm | Bm | F#m | A/E |

| E | x8

  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

E
