Living On The Street

Verse 1
Em G       D A                   Em
She dreams of places she's never been
Em   G                  D              A                     Em
She walks through streets, in search of a friend
Em   G        D             A          Em
She climbs mountains into the sky
Em   G         D         A                         C
The world is safe, a world made in her mind
Chorus
C     G
Livin on the street
C                              G
Some days there isn't much to eat
C            G                         A
Wonderin where to go to get high
A
She will get by
Verse 2
She said life changed about five years ago
Her boyfriend left, she started drinking alone
It soothed her pain and freed her soul
The world was hard, she felt so alone
Chorus
Livin on the street
Some days there isn't much to eat
Wonderin where to go to get high
She will get by
Verse 3
She said she wants to find a new life
Her friends are dyin before their time
Swirling from morning into the night
The world is changing in front of her eyes
Chorus
Livin on the street
Some days there isn't much to eat
Wonderin where to go to get high
She will get by
Bridge
C    G    B7 C
Watch from the sidelines, her daily life
G D C
Helplessly witness, her decline
Chorus
Livin on the street
Some days there isn't much to eat
Wonderin where to go to get high
She will get by
