Intro chords:
Pretty picture standing there, the only one I know
I like the way you did your hair, but you don't think so
Babe, I don't want you to leave, I know you're feeling rough
Despite what you might believe, you're always good enough
You're always good enough
Second guessed a sure thing once and ended up too low
Although I made it home today, I still gotta ways to go
Wednesday's my birthday and I don't know what to do
I'm sneaking up on 21 but it feels like 32
We're taking our time going the wrong way
We're going downtown to try and fade away
She looks so good in the summer night
You tell me I'm wrong, but you know that I'm right
If you can still get around this little crazy town
Please try and find yourself a little ray of sunshine
Take it easy, have a drink and try to settle down
Don't worry about the rest of it and things will be alright
Babe, you gotta stop playing with your shadows
Yeah, you're looking in the mirror for a model and a valentine
Hey, I'm trying not to be too
Shallow, but someone's gotta draw the line
Cause what we got is just like Paradise in Palestine
I admit it didn't seem like things were working out
We were over under on the in between, we were knee deep in doubt
We're looking towards the future when we'll love in some hotel
You said we got the right stuff baby, you said that you could tell
I'm standing in line waiting on a miracle that's never gonna come
And you know I ain't special
Gotta DC ticket I remember my own,
Don't worry baby cause I'm coming home
Can't remember everything that happened in my youth
It's getting a little late for lies but it's too soon for the truth
It all adds up to nothing when you look at it from afar
I got a two dollar bill in my pocket and this beat up guitar
I'm getting nowhere fast and you're riding shotgun
And I'm coming in last cause you know you got me running
I'm trying real hard just to make thing good
Sometimes I think I can't but then I probably could
