So, he's leaving the life

                         REb          LAb/DO
Than live without him in mine (world, world)
      SOLb/SIb LAb9
(It's his,     his and hers alone)

REb     FAm7      SOLb/SIb

Oh, that someday he'd be a star
   SOLb/SIb          LAb7
(A superstar, but he didn't get far)
REb                    FAm7        SOLb/SIb
 But he sure found out the hard way
        MIb9 
That dreams don't always come true 
 LAb11
(dreams don't always come true)

Oh no (uh-uh, no, uh-uh)
      REb          FAm7   SOLb/SIb   LAb7
So he hung all his hopes
        REb     FAm7     SOLb/SIb  LAb7
And he even sold his own car, hmm
         REb             FAm7   SOLb/SIb
Bought a one way ticket back
         MIb9       LAb11
To the life that he once knew

Oh yes he did
