all my friends
counting crows

Dm                          Bb
Thought I might get a rocket ride
           F                         C
When I was a child but it was a lie
        Dm                        Bb                       A
That I told myself when I needed something good
Dm                       Bb
At seventeen, had a better dream.
            F                         C
Now I'm thirty-three and it isn't me
        Dm                        Bb               A
But I'd think of something better if I could

CHORUS:
Bb                       Am     Dm-C-Am-G
All my friends and lovers leave me behind
Bb        F                 A
I'm still looking for a girl
Bb              Am                  Dm-C-Am-G
One way or another, I'm just hoping to find
      Bb
A way...
               F                  Bb     F
To put my feet out in the world

Dm                             Bb
Caught some grief from a falling leaf
          F                            C
As she tumbled down to the dirty ground
        Dm                        Bb                   A
Said I should have put her back there if I could
Dm                       Bb
But everyone needs a better day
            F                         C
And I'm trying to find me a better way
        Dm                        Bb                    A
To get from the things I do to the things I should

CHORUS:
Bb                       Am     Dm-C-Am-G
All my friends and lovers leave me alone
Bb        F                 A
To try to have a little fun
Bb              Am               Dm-C-Am-G
One way or another I just wish I had known
Bb         F                     Bb  F
To go out walking in the sun
Bb               F                     Ab    Bb
And find out if you were the one...
                                                       Ab            Bb
Does it make you wanna come a little closer now?
                             Ab               Bb
And did you wanna dance with me?
                                       Ab            Bb
Did you wanna hum a little harder now?
             Am       Bb
Can you see her waiting there?
             Am                         Bb
Can you see her? Because I'm almost there
             Am       Bb
Can you see her waiting there for someone
          F   Bb   F    Bb
like me?

Dm                   Bb
All you want is a beauty queen
        F                         C
Not a superstar but everybody's dream machine
Dm                   Bb                       A
All you want is a place to lay your head
Dm                             Bb
You go to sleep dreaming how you would
      F                             C
Be a different kind if you thought you could
            Dm                    Bb                   A
But you come awake the way you are instead

CHORUS:
Bb                       Am        Dm-C-Am-G
All my friends and lovers shine like the sun
Bb        F                 A
I just turn and walk away
Bb              Am                  Dm-C-Am-G
One way or another, I'm not coming undone
Bb         F                  Bb
I'm just waiting for the day
