INTRO: A4 D4 A4 D4
There's two boys holdin' stars for the wishin'
A4 D4
Yeah one boy's sure one says "I don't know"
A4 D4
But sometimes I feel we been missin'
A4 D4
Love I try, and away they go
A4 D4
And in this ol' town the wind starts blowin'
A4 D4
And the radio sings blues for free
A4 D4
We got the bottle down for soakin' dreams (yeah!)
A4 D4
"Tears of a clown" well, hey, that's me
A4 D4
(CHORUS:)
And hearts that fall in two pretend they don't show
A D4 G D4
Holding back the rain, baby, let it go
A D4 G D4
You don't get much without giving
D G
You don't get much without giving
D G
Hey! Hey! Yeah! Hey! Hey! Yeah!
D G
Hey! Hey! Yeah! Hey! Hey! Yeah!
D G
Oh, she left one shoe behind in the back hallway
A4 D4
She left one memory the strangest kind
A4 D4
I guess naive love songs are savin' grace
A4 D4
When losers win in this losin' race
A4 D4
And hearts that fall in two pretend they don't show
A D4 G D4
Holding back the rain, baby, let it go
A D4 G D4
You don't get much without giving
D G
You don't get much without giving
D G
Hey! Hey! Yeah! Hey! Hey! Yeah!
D G
Hey! Hey! Yeah! Hey! Hey! Yeah!
D G
Oh...... (SOLO)
You don't get much You don't get much
D G
You don't get much You don't get much
D G
Oh.... Oh......
