A
        I had to prove that I could make it alone
           E7sus4          E7
        But that's not me
           A
        I wanted to show how independent I'd grown now
           E7sus4          E7
        But that's not me
               Bm7/F#                 E7
        I could try to be big in the eyes of the world
            Bm7/F#                 E7                     C#m7  F#maj7  G#m7/F#
        What matters to me is what I could be to just one girl


[Chorus 1]

              F#maj7
        I'm a little bit scared
                G#m7/F#               F#maj7      G#m7/F#
        Cause I haven't been home in a long time
              B
        You needed my love
               B7                      E          E7
        And I know that I left at the wrong time


[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)

        My folks when I wrote them
        Told 'em what I was up to said that's not me
        I went through all kinds of changes
        Took a look at myself and said that's not me
        I miss my pad and the places I've known
        And every night as I lay there alone I would dream


[Chorus 2]

          F#maj7
        I once had a dream
            G#m7/F#                     F#maj7      G#m7/F#
        So I packed up and split for the city
          Gmaj7                  Am7/G                 Gmaj7    Am7/G 
        I soon found out that my lonely life wasn't so pretty
             C                  C7                              F     F7
        I'm glad I went now I'm that much more sure that we're ready


[Coda] 
(repeat to fade)

          F#maj7
        I once had a dream
            G#m7/F#                     F#maj7      G#m7/F#
        So I packed up and split for the city
          F#maj7                 G#m7/F#               F#maj7    G#m7/F#
        I soon found out that my lonely life wasn't so pretty
