[Verse]
D                        G          D
You always aimed for the top of the game
G                      D
That's where you ended up
D                     G        D
You owed a lot to the work you did
G                         A
You owed a little more to luck 
G              D     A       D
Didn't want to be no one-hit wonder 
G                 D
Lightning strikes quick
A                F#m         G
You can hear the thunder for miles and miles
G                 Bm      A 
Echoes across the years 
    Em                      A                               
The fire’s gone out but the spark is still here

[Verse]
D                G          D
Hey man, I could use a friend
    G                          D
I'm thinking you could hook me up
D                           G        D 
I'm having trouble with the band I'm in
G                   A
Having trouble with love 
         G       D          A        D
I had an endless summer but now it's autumn
   G               D 
My cup was running over
A              F#m         G
Now it's got a hole in the bottom 
G                  Bm    A
It drips down like tears 
    Em                      A
The well's gone dry but the thirst is still here

[Verse]
D                     G        D
I don't blame you for doing good
G                D
I don't hate you much
D                   G    D 
You didn't knock anybody down
G                A
You just had the touch 
G    D    G     D     
  So what   the hell
G   D    G     D
  I wish   you well
G    D      G    D 
Hard candy, soft sell
           Em7            A
That's the way of the world 
G            D     A          D
Didn't wanna be no small-town crier
G             D 
Devil loves a dreamer
A   F#m     G
God loves a tryer 
G                     Bm    A
I'm trying to make it clear 
         Em                      A                  D D/C#
Well the music’s stopped but the song is still here 
         Em                      A                   Em7 A
Yeah the music’s stopped but the song is still here 
         Em                        A    N.C.       
Yeah the crowd’s gone home but the song is still here
