A  G  Bm     x4


A            G            Bm      A
Here's a rose for the innocent
      G             Bm    A
Fully knowing roses fail
        G             Bm                A
Singing songs so free of consequence
    G                    Bm      A
Grabbing for the comet's tail


G              Bm         A
Welcome to the world
         G            Bm         A
It's not all I'd have given you
             G           Bm
Just shining pieces of a dream
                     A
That almost could've been
G             Bm
Isn't what it seems 
                         A
And still might yet come true


G                            Bm     A
And when I look through your eyes
    G                     Bm      A
And see again each day as new
G                   Bm        A
I can see my soul reborn
    G              Bm            A
And what I know, I never knew


G              Bm       A
Welcome to the world
         G                  Bm      A
It's not all I'd have given you
             G           Bm
Just shining pieces of a dream
                     A
That almost could've been
G             Bm
Isn't what it seems 
                         A
And still might yet come true


G  F#M  D  A
           But take a walk with me
G  F#M  D  A
           Come on and walk down Rain Street
G  F#M  D  A
           Come on and talk with me
G  F#M  D  A
 
              G                       Bm   A
We best dance lightly, folks are sleeping
G                  Bm    A
Who could be me or you
              G
Don't pretend that we can wake em now
Bm
We can save em now
                      A         G
Like I always want to try to do
           Bm
Try to do


Jam

G                   Bm     A
How can I say these things to you?
          G              Bm
What more really need be said?
A
How can I make it new enough
G
True enough
Bm
Shine it through enough
             A
To turn your head

G              Bm       A
Welcome to the world
         G                  Bm      A
It's not all I'd have given you
             G           Bm
Just shining pieces of a dream
                     A
That almost could've been
G             Bm
Isn't what it seems 
                         A
And still might yet come true

G  F#M  D  A
           But take a walk with me
G  F#M  D  A
           Come on and walk down Rain Street
G  F#M  D  A
           Come on and talk with me
G  F#M  D  A


We could stay inside this starry night
G                     Bm
But tomorrow's coming soon
A              G             Bm
Should I hold, should I hold you till the morning light?
           A
Or just go howling at the moon?
G                    Bm
Howling at the moon

And after all, the point is trying
Some will win and some will lose
Better to die living than live dying
Somebody else will start anew
Just as you have shown me to
