they'd give us [Dm] almost anything we want.
[Bb] I never cared that [F] Joey Keys was slow.
_ [Gm] The kids [F] pretended they liked us
when we'd all walk home.
Singing sha-la-la-la,
what you gonna do with your life?
[Gm] Sha-la-la-la,
[Bb] chasing spots [F] in the night.
This old man said that tomorrow
[Bb] was a ride that went nowhere.
[Gm] Well I'll pull some [F] strings,
get [Bb] Blackbird's wings,
and bring us out of here.
[C] Hey, Joey,
[Dm] won't you tell me about your dreams?
[Bb] Tell me all the sights you're gonna see.
[Gm] Tell me who you're gonna be.
[C] Hey, Joey,
[Dm] wanna get to kiss the girl goodnight?
[Gm] Sometimes you gotta stand and [F] fight,
it'll be alright.
We're gonna find a better life. _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ [F] She said Joe was 30 years younger to the day.
_ [C] Took a liking to my stories,
[Dm] he became my ball and chain.
_ [Bb] Thought I'd marry [F] Ron,
she fell for me.
