[Intro]
C   Am7   F   C

[Verse]
        C
Well a quarter in
a fountain
             Am7
means that people
still have dreams
       F
And a token in a pocket
             C
 means that people
 can come clean
C
So come on now boy,
           Am7
 don't you be
afraid to start
        F
'Cause sweat on your
                     C
skin's better than regret
on your heart
C   Am7   F   C

[Verse]
          C
Well the wrinkles on your
              Am
face from regret-filled days
      F
Your eyes tell the story
       C
 of a place far away
            C
And if you don't bleed
               Am7
now you'll forever
have to pay
            F
You're not living unless
 you're willing to do some
  C
dying along the way
C   Am7   F   C
[Chorus]
C  G/B            Am7
      And if you can't
      F
see now then you'll
   C            G
find out one day
           Am7
When your hands are getting
  F               C       G
 weak and you're fading away
            Am7        F
Take these words here now and,
   C               G
 let 'em be your saving
       G
grace

         Am  F  C  C

[Verse]
 C                      Am7
Take them hits on your sleeve
and wear them proud
            F
You're the only one around
            C
 here that truly knows how
 C                    Am7
Save them tears for a day
where you'll need 'em
          F
Like the times
 when you come home
         C
Not the times when
you're leavin'
C   Am7   F   C

[Chorus]
C  G/B            Am7
      And if you can't see

 now then you'll find
          G
out one day
           Am7
When your hands are getting

 weak and you're fading away
            Am7        F
Take these words here now and,
