'The Boulevard of Broken Dreams'

(filler/intro)

I remember the day I came to this place
Yeah, just like it was yesterday
Strutting down the streets
They seemed as though the were paved with gold

Looking around me
Naivety with a happy face
I soon learned that to survive here
you had to waste no time as you got old
Yeah...

(filler)

People told me i'd love it there
People told me i'd make my fortune
They said that this was the land
Where people were made or broken overnight
They all told me i'd get rich quick
Yeah, soon
Every turned into a happy sight

(filler)

I told you not to worry
I made sure you got some sleep at night
I settled in pretty well, yeah
But I never thought to try
And reach out
Turn out the light,
yeah...

(beat, beat)

(filler)

(chorus)

I never thought i'd have to work hard
Never believed it wouldn't come my way
Never thought me and life
Would ever drift apart
Welcome to the boulevard
The boulevard of broken dreams

(beat, beat)

(filler)

I watched everyone around me succeed
I never thought i'd ever stop believing

Whoa...Yeah...

No-one thought I could do it
I guess they were right
They must have seen a good sight
Had a good laugh at me
As I walked down the boulevard of broken dreams

(beat)

Never thought i'd end up like this
No way did I think it could ever happen
I watched them fail infront of me
I stood there and laughed at them
I never thought i'd end up like this...

(beat, beat)

(filler)

(chorus)

(beat, beat)

(filler)

I like the way I live today though
It must look like i'm on my way down
But don't worry about me baby
I'll make sure I never sink that low

(filler)

At least I can remember the good times
I think back to when the sky was high
And times were crazy and happy
I took a stroll down the the boulevard of broken dreams
I never thought this would ever happen to me...

(beat, beat)

(filler)

(chorus)

(beat, beat)

(solo)

Ooooh,.. the boulevard of broken dreams...

(beat)

Yes, take a walk down the boulevard of broken dreams...
