[Verse]
G             D         Em        D
I met her at a bar where I often sit down
G             D         Em        D
And have myself a drink
C             Am
She played my favorite song
   G                     D
Before I had time to think
G             D         Em        D
So I bought her a round and she pounded it down
G             D         Em        D
And let out a laugh like a freight train
C             Am
We exchanged small talk
   G                    D
Doesn't it feel like rain?
And she said..

[Chorus]
C                 D
You and I, we're two of a kind
G                Em
Not afraid to dream
         C
We could be the
D
Next big thing

[Verse]
G             D         Em             D
She told me her roommate was gone for the weekend
G             D         Em             D
Borrowed a car and took off with her boyfriend
C             Am
They'd be marrying soon
   G                D
Was it December or June?
G             D         Em             D
She was an artist with a two bedroom apartment
G             D         Em             D
Her dad kept her going on a weekly allowance
C             Am
She'd be graduating soon
   G                D
Was it December or June?
And I said..

[Chorus]
C                 D
You and I, we're two of a kind
G                Em
Not afraid to dream
         C
We could be the

G             D                 G        D
So I bought her one more and she stared at the door
G             D         Em        D
Watching the parade moving out and in
C                Am
She made fun of their clothes
   G                       D
She said that I could never be one of those
G             D         Em                   D
And I thought to myself, you're just like everybody else
G             D         Em                D
Standing at the station and missing the train
C             Am
I turned to gauge her expression
   G                         D
She walked back home in the rain
And I said..

[Chorus]
C                 D
You and I, we're two of a kind
G                Em
Not afraid to dream
         C
We could be the

                      The next big thing
G      D   Em     D
                      The next big thing
G      D   Em     D
                      The next big thing
