Verse 1
G                          C
I keep my hopes and dreams inside of you 
                         G                          
amongst the other things my mother seems to never see 
    Gm
the bruises that I'm covering, 
C                      F
Never been known by my government name, 
          D                              Em
my foster home is where I've been placed away from the pain,
          G                     C                                              
so as you sit before me with a folder holding my story, 
           A                             D
you're my saviour with nothing on me but power and glory,
    G                   C
And surely you'll never ignore me 
                       B                               G
cos when the the court came the court date was made to disappear for me,
C                               D
You think you understand me but never what I went through 
G                           C
but you were never meant to I won't hold it against you,
G                  C                      G                        D
I take a ballpoint pen to play dot to dot with the cigarette burns etched in my forearms,
G                          Em                            
Forget me not never let me stop you'll just sit and watch
G                   C
It's your job to be patient so you'll let me off,
Chorus
G                      D                     G              B
So come with me take a walk on the wild side, see life in a day through a child's eyes,
C         Am         G     Em       D  Em      G 
And these dreams are all    I have,    to hold me,
C    Am         G      Em            D               Em
When sleeps the only    thing that I want to take me away, away,
Verse 2
G                       C                              G
Okay sessions over time to get back to the classroom I hate this lesson and
            Gm
I guess the teacher finds it hard to,
C                           F                  Em                          G
You told me I should try my best but guess what I still find this trigonometry a head fuck,
C                               B
Constantly told I won't pass my GCSE's,
         G                     C
I'll end up in Mac D's serving burgers and cheese,
        F                  C
But you told me I can do anything if I put my mind to it,
G                      Em
Mistakes make a change if you put a line through 'em,
C           G                     Em                 A
Lately classmates think I'm crazy turn up daily resembling bill bailey,
G                         C                          Em                             D
And I ain't saying that I can't be groomed with it without new clothes or shower it hard to do,
   Gm                                   C
So after school you'll take me shopping for some new clothes
 
G                                   D
but they'll get taken off me when I get back to the group home,
Chorus
G                      D                     G              B
So come with me take a walk on the wild side, see life in a day through a child's eyes,
C         Am         G     Em       D  Em      G 
And these dreams are all    I have,    to hold me,
C    Am         G      Em            D               Em
When sleeps the only    thing that I want to take me away, away,
