My car broke down in Arizona, have to ride the bus again,
AEAE
At ten-o-clock on Tuesday night, with thirteen cents and a broken pen.
AEAE
I put my backpack on a bench, tell two people I don't smoke,
AEAE
See a cop across the street, he thinks that I am selling dope.
F#BF#BAEAE
I could have walked another block, to get away from the scene.
F#BF#BAB
Why does it always come to this where the zero meets the fifteen?
AEAE
And so I gave my thirteen cents to the man who peed his pants.
AEAE
He passes out and falls on me, I watch my change fall from his hands.
AEAE
I see the lady next to me, holds her baby black and blue.
AEAE
The junkie gutter-punks keep asking where I got my new tattoo.
F#BF#BAEAE
What does it matter anyway, thirteen cents or all I own?
F#BF#BAB
How can I ever save the world, on cup-o-soup and student loans?
AEBDAEBDAE
And I want to try to save the world, but it never goes my way.
BDAEBD
God, I don't know what to do, down at Colfax and Broadway.
AEAEAEBDAEAE
Now the man with no shoes on, says I don't know how to play.
AEAE
He says I fumble all the time. He thinks that I am John Elway.
AEAE
I put my face down in my hands, water wells inside my eyes.
AEAE
What do I have to give them? Does it maker if I try?
F#BF#BAEAE
I can't stand to see you suffer, I try to intellectualize,
F#BF#BAB
A formula to end your pain, it doesn't work, God knows I've tried.
AEBDAEBDAE
And I want to try to save the world, but it never goes my way.
BDAEBD
God, I don't know what to do, down at Colfax and Broadway.
BDAE
Sometimes my cup is overfilled.
BDE
Sometimes I'm too afraid that I'm going to spill.
BDAEBDAEAEBDAEBDAE
I want to try to save the world, but it never goes my way.
BDAEBD
God, I don't know what to do, down at Colfax and Broadway.
