[G]I'm the [D]kid who [Em]ran away [C]with the circus
[G]Now I'm [D]wandering [C]elep[D]hants
[G]But I [D]sometimes [Em]lie awake in [C]the sawdust
[G]dreaming high [D]in the [C]suit of [D]light

[Em]Late at night in the [C]empty big top on
[Em]I'm alone on the [C]high wire
[Em]look he's working [A7]without a net this time
[D]he's a real death [C]def[D]yer

[G]I'm the [D]kid who [Em]always looked [C]out the windows
[G]failing [D]tests in [C]geog[D]raphy
[G]But I've [D]seen things [Em]far beyond across [C]the school yard
[G]distance [D]shorts of [C]exotic [D]lands

[Em]There's the spires [C]of the turkish empire
[Em]six months sweet [C]we made the land fall
[Em]riding low with the [A7]spices of India
[D]Through Japan were rich [C]in [D]all

[G]I'm the [D]kid who [Em]who thought we'd [C]someday be lovers
[G]always held [D]out that [C]the time [D]we tell
[G]time was [D]talking [Em]guess, I [C]wasn't listening
[G]No surprise [D]if you [C]know me [D]well

[Em]as we are walking through [C]toward the train station
[Em]there's a [C]whispering rainfall
[Em]across the boulevard [A7]you slip your hand in mine
[D]in the distance the [C]train [D]calls

[G]I'm the [D]kid who [Em]has the habit [C]of dreaming
[G]Sometimes [D]gets me [C]in trouble [D]too
[G]But the [D]truth is [Em]I could stop [C]no more from dreaming
[G]then I could [D]make them [C]all come [D]true
