D G (Bass notes)
D
An empty papercup blows across the road
G
Like it was late for work on the first day of spring
D
I'll just stay here sitting on the curb collecting dust
G
From all the years that the fever brings to mind
D
If I give it time I will recognize the outline of a heart
G
nothing more than styrofoam
D
It's not that strong weathered from hanging on to the
G
papercup full of dreams I live for
PRECHORUS:
F#m/C# D5 F#m/C# D5
And there will come a day when the dreams might just blow away
F#m/C# D5 F#m/C# D5
That's when it all collided perfectly, oh can't you see that...
CHORUS:
D* Bm
Somebody needs you, somebody wants you to care
G* Asus
He will be waiting patiently for you in the hour you just can't win
BRIDGE:
(C2 G/B Asus) You just cant win (C2 G/B D) You just cant win
(C2 G/B Asus) You just cant win
G D/F# Asus
No no, when you just cant win
Asus G D/F# Asus
When you just cant win, no, when you just cant win
