D                F#m             B 
Left with almost nothing left to build on

I'll send my blueprints out to you

Maybe I'll be famous in California

Baby, I'll be more famous than you 

Chorus 

Bm             A           E 
Glitter in the gutters all around us 
D               F#m            E 
Crystals in the closet in your room 
    Bm        A              E 
You appear in lovely colored fabrics 
       D                    A               E 
Like a dream dreamt up by a bolder man than you

Left with almost nothing left but pardons

Who knows if anything will do 
D          F#m            B 
You know I think you're uncommon 
    D         A     E 
But nothing I say impresses you

There are crystals in the closet of your room 
    Bm        A              E 
You appear in lovely colored fabrics

Dreamt up by a man bolder than you

D                F#m              B 
Left with almost nothing left but options 
D          A                 E 
I pick the landscape most confused 
D                F#m            B 
Stealing out the back door of a promise 
   D        A              E 
To take the words that you refuse

I hope I could be bold, too 
     D           F#m            Bm 
Oh I hope you'll learn to be brave soon
