[C] _ _ _ [G] I'm the kid who [Am] _ ran away [C] with the [F] circus _
[G] _ Now _ I'm _ [C] watering _ _ _ [G] elephants _ _
[C] _ _ But [G] I _ _ [Am] sometimes fly awake [C] in the _ sawdust _ _ _ [G] Dreaming high [C] in a suit of [G] light _ _
[Am] _ Late at night [F] in the empty big [Am] top I'm all alone [F] on the high [Am] wire
Look he's working [D] _ without a net [G] this time He's a real [C] deft _ [G] defier
[C] _ I'm the [G] _ kid who [A] _ always looked [C] out the window _
[G] _ _ _ Failing tests [F] in _ geography
[G] _ _ _ _
[C] _ But [G] I've seen _ [Am] things far beyond [F] just the _ _ [C] schoolyard _ _ [G] Distant shores [C] of _ exotic [G] _ lands _
[Am] _ They're the spires [F] of the Turkish [Am] empire Six months since we [F] made _ _ [Am] landfall
Riding low [D] with the Spice of [G] India Through Gibraltar [C] where [G] rich [C] men walk
_ [G] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] _ I'm [G] the kid who [Am] thought we'd someday [F] be lovers _
[C] _ _ Always [G] _ held how [D] the time would [G] tell
But _ _
[C] _ _ time [G] was talking _
[Am] I guess I just [C] wasn't listening _
_ No _ [G] surprise if [F] you know me [G] well _ _ _
[Am] _ As we're walking [F] to the board and train [Am] station There's a whispering [G] rain fall
[Am] Across the [D] boulevard you slip your hand in [G] mine In the distance [Am] the train [Bm] _
[C] calls
I'm the [G] _ kid who [Am] has this habit [F] of dreaming _
[C] _ _ [G] Sometimes _ gets me [C] in _ trouble [G] _ too _
[C] But the [G] truth is [Am] I could no more [F] stop dreaming _
[C] _ Than [G] I could [C] make them all come true _ _
