Am F
With legs so long they go straight to heaven,
G C
But this old bunch looks like hell.
Am F C G
But tonight I'll take what I can get.
C Em7
I'd like to hear a great musician
Am F
With strange ideas and grand ambition,
G C
But this guy, he's got trouble with chords.

Am F
Head held high, the luck of beginners

But old dead dreams are dancing in front,
G C
Of old dead dreamers with washed up luck,
Buying love for cash

This old story gets stale and dry,
Am F
No matter how I try and try
