[Verse1]
G                                    Dsus2
He spends his nights in California,
E/D                        Cadd9
To live the lifes in his dreams
G                             Dsus2
And now he lies awake and he wonders,
E/D                         Cadd9
why can't that be me?
G5 (dist. enters)                        D5
Cause in his life he is filled with all these good intentions
E5                                C5
He's left a lot of things he'd rather not mention right now
G5                             D5
But just before he says good night,
E5                          C5
he looks up with a little smile of me and he says
[Chorus1]
G                        Dsus2
If I could be like that,
                  Em                         C 
I would give anything  Just to live one day ay ay, in those shoes
G                        Dsus2
If I could be like that,
             Em                      C 
What would I do, what would I do yeah

G                               Dsus2
She spends her days up in the north park,
E/D                          Cadd9
Watching the people as they pass
G                           Dsus2
And all she wants is just a little piece of this dream,
E/D                   Cadd9
is that too much to ask
G                     Dsus2/F#
With a safe home,  and a warm bed,
Em                   C
on a quiet little street
G                          Dsus2
All she wants is just that something to hold on to,
