1. He spends his nights in California, watching
                        Cadd9
   the stars on the big screen
   Then he lies awake and he wonders, why
   can't that be me
   Cause in his life he is filled with all these
   good intentions
   He's left a lot of things he'd rather not
   mention right now
   But just before he says goodnight, he looks
   up with a little smile at me and says

   G5                 D5
R: If I could be like that, I would
   give anything
   E5               C5
   Just to live one day, in those shoes
   If I could be like that, what would I do,
   what would I do
   Now and dreams we run

2. She spends her days up in the north park,
   watching the people as they pass
   And all she wants is just a little piece of
   this dream, is that too much to ask
   With a safe home, and a warm bed, on a
   quiet little street
   All she wants is just that something to
   hold onto, that's all she needs

   Yeah!
   
R: If I could be like that...

   I'm falling into this, in dreams
   we run away

R: If I could be like that... (3x)
