"Fire Escape"
By Fastball

Intro and Verse: C#-F#-F#-C#

C#           F#             C#         
Well I don't wanna be President
Superman or Clark Kent
I don't wanna walk 'round in their shoes

'Cause I don't know who's side I'm on
I don't know my right from wrong
I don't know where I'm going to     (C#-F#-F#-C#)
I don't know about you

Chorus:
G#                 F#                    C#
I'll be the rain falling on your fire escape
       F#
And I may not be the man you want me to          (C#-F#-F#-C#)
I can be myself, how 'bout you?


I don't wanna make you mad
I don't wanna meet your dad
I don't wanna be your dream come true

'Cause I don't know just what I've found
I don't know my sky from ground
I don't know where I'm going to
I don't know   about you

Chorus X 2

Ok, here's the deal.  You can play this song with a capo at the first 
fret.  Therefore, you can take all of the sharps off the chords, and for
example, the in intro would be -C-F-F-G-.  If there's any additions or
comments, just drop me an e-mail and I'll make the necessary changes.
