  			D       A       Bm                G 
I'm the kid who ran away with the circus 
D       A        G   A 
Now I'm watering elephants 
D     A         Bm               G 
But I sometimes lie awake in the sawdust 
D         A        G        A  
Dreaming  I'm in a suit of  light 
Bm                   Gmaj7 
Late at night in the empty big top 
    Bm               Gmaj7 
I'm all alone on the high wire 
Bm                 E7 
Look he's working without a net this time 
A                  Asus  A             
He's a real death  defyer  
D       A        Bm                    G 
I'm the kid who  always looked out the window 
D       A        G   A 
Failing tests in geography 
D        A           Bm                  G 
But I've seen things far beyond just the school yard 
D       A         G      A 
Distant shores of exotic lands 
Bm                         Gmaj7 
There're the spires of the Turkish Empire 
Bm                       Gmaj7 
Six months since we made landfall 
Bm                  E7 
Riding low with the spice of India 
A 
Through Gibralter  
      Asus A     Em C D A   Em C G A 
We're rich men  
D       A       Bm                      G 
I'm the kid who thought we'd someday be lovers 
D       A              G           A 
Always  held out that  time would  tell 
D        A        Bm                   G 
Time was talking  guess I just wasn't  listening 
D     A            G        A 
No surprise if you know me well 
Bm                    Gmaj7 
And as we're walking  toward the train station 
Bm                   Gmaj7 
There's a whispering rainfall 
Bm                   E7  
Cross the boulevard  you slip your hand in mine 
A                   Asus  A 
In the distance the train calls  
D        A        Bm                 G  
I'm the  kid who  has this habit of  dreaming 
D          A          G       A 
Sometimes  gets me in trouble too 
D        A         Bm                    G 
But the  truth is  I could no more stop  dreaming 
D      A                G         D 
Than I could make them  all come  true
