Intro

Verse 1
     C
It's nothing but the hits in a room downtown
                          Bb
They're noisy as hell but nice
Dm
People don't usually get to play in there
                    C
More than a time or twice
C
You had you a regular spot
                                Bb
They were even advertising your name
Dm
Better than the usual thing you got
                          Am    C
Staying just ahead of the game
             G
Ahead of the game

Verse 2
    C
And I can't tell you one thing new
                      Bb
About playing for the door
Dm
Some of my dreams back there too
                        C
With the sawdust on the floor
      C
We're worn out and weary, all of us
            Bb
But we know why we came
Dm
Banged up the battered like this old bus
                          Am   C
Staying just ahead of the game
             G
Ahead of the game


Bridge
F             Dm
 The sky's as big as nowhere
C
 Which is where we've been
F               Dm
 Left a dream behind there somewhere
C              Dm
 You've got to have a dream

Verse 3
  C
I gave your buddy a ride to the train
                          Bb
He was telling me he'd be back
         Dm
It was a red light shining, love in vain
                          C
When we rolled across the tracks
  C
Barista-bartender selling beat-up car
                              Bb
Needs a ticket for a bus or a plane
Dm
Singer-songwriter header for home
                          Am   C
Staying just ahead of the game
             G
Ahead of the game
