Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G][Am][F][C][G][F][Csus4][F][G]
[C]

[Verse 1]
I'm [G]the
kid [Am]who ran away with [F]the circus[C]
Now [G]I'm watering [F]elephant[G]s[C]
But [G]sometimes [Am]I lie awake
in [F]the sawdust[C]
[G]Dreaming I'm in [F]a suit of [G]light[Am]
Late at night in [F]the empty big top [Am]I'm
All alone on [F]the high [Am]wire
Look, he's working [D]without
a net this [G]time
He's a real [F]death- [G]daffier

[Verse 2]
[C]I'm the [G]kid [Am]who always
looked out [F]the window[C]
[G]Failing tests in [F]geography[G][C]
But I've [G]seen [Am]things far beyond
just [F]the schoolyard[C]
Distant [G]shores of [F]exotic [G]lands[Am]
They're the spires of [F]the Turkish empire
[Am]It's six months since we
[F]made [Am]landfall
Riding love with the [D]spice of India
[G]Through Gibraltar,
[F]we're rich [G]men [C]all

[Interlude 1]
[G][Em][Am][F][C][G][F][G][C]

[Verse 3]
I'm [G]the kid [Am]who thought we'd
someday [F]be [C]lovers
[G]Always held out [F]that time would [G]tell[C]
Time was [G]talking,
[Am]I guess I just wasn't list[F]ening[C]
No sur[G]prise if you [F]know me [G]well[Em]
[Am]And as we're walking
[F]toward the train station
[Am]There's a whisper
[F]ing [Am]rainfall
'Cross the boulevard
[D]you slip your hand in min[G]e
In the distance the [Am]train [G]calls

[Verse 4]
[C]I'm the kid[G] who[Am] has this
habit of [F]dreaming[C]
[G]Sometimes gets me in [F]trouble [G]too[C]
But the [G]truth [Am]is I could no
more [F]stop [C]dreaming
Than I [G]could make them [F]all come [C]true
