Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]All the lights are green
on Franklin Street
when [F#m]I drove home last night
And every four [G]-way stop
that I approached,
hey, [A]I was on the right
And when I drove [D]past your house again,
[F#m]hey, like I always do
I [G]thought about the one thing in my life
[A]that didn't come true
And it was [D]you, it was you,
who [F#m]said the dreams come true
And it was [G]you, it was you,
who [A]said that mine would too
And it was [D]you who said that
[A]all I had to [G]do was to [Bm]believe[G][Bm]
But [G]when your ivory towers tumble down,
they [A]tumble down on [D]me
Well, I turned into the driveway,
through [F#m]the gates and pass along
And [G]I sat and stared into the dark
before [A]I shut it off
And she met me [D]at the door
and pressed her [F#m]face into my shirt
And as aw[G]ful as it sounds,
I [A]wished it wasn't her
But it was [D]you, it was you,
who [F#m]said the dreams come true
And it was [G]you, it was you,
who [A]said the mind would too
And it was [D]you who said that
[A]all I had to [Bm]do was to bel[G]ieve[Bm]
When [G]your ivory towers tumble down,
[A]they tumble down [G]on [A]me[D][F#m][G]
[A]
I still wish [D]on every shoot[G]ing star
[A]that [F#m]streaks across the sky
And [G]at every four -leaf clover,
hey, [A]I still close my eyes
And at [D]every church steeple,
I still [F#m]whisper a prayer
when I [G]open up my eyes
hey [A]darling you're not there and it was you
[D]it was you who sai[F#m]d
the dreams come true
and it was you
[G]it was you who sai[A]d the mind would too
and it was you [D]who said that
[A]all I had to [Bm]do wa[G]s to be
[Bm]lieve [G]when[Bm]
When your [G]ivory towers tumble down,
they [A]tumble down on [D]me.
applause
[A][A][Bm]

[Verse 2]
[D]app[G]lause
white trash [G]speak for yourself buddy
I've been heckled before laughter
Oh, it's just Novelty
Night at the Old Tin Angel,
isn't it? You labor over
all these songs
endlessly
your whole childhood.
You live this entire life
so somebody can scream out, big hair!
[D]You
