Instead - Madeleine Peyroux

[00:10.75]I saw him shaking his change in a coffee cup
[00:13.50]Asked for a dollar but I told the man to give it up
[00:16.06]Said he's hungry i dont think that it's true
[00:18.68]I bet my dollar he'd just spend it on booze
[00:21.10]I turned my back on him and began to walk away
[00:23.75]But then i heard a little voice inside me say
[00:26.34]What if it's really true?
[00:28.01]What if he's hungry?
[00:28.86]What if it's not for him?
[00:29.85]Does he have a family?
[00:31.21]How'd you get here
[00:32.71]How'd you end up on the street
[00:36.44]Where did you go wrong
[00:39.06]Wonder what I'd do if it were me
[00:41.69]Chorus:
[00:42.63]A new point of view
[00:45.35]A walk in your shoes
[00:47.75]I wish I could get inside your head
[00:52.56]To see what you see
[00:55.37]When you look at me
[00:58.14]Cause I could have lived your life instead
[01:05.80]Verse 2:
[01:07.65]It was 90 degrees in the Summer heat
[01:10.33]She was veiled in black all the way down to her feet
[01:12.92]This is America doesn't she know
[01:15.46]Somebody take her shopping buy her some clothes
[01:17.99]She came up to me I didn't understand a word
[01:20.57]I was about to leave then another thought occurred
[01:23.10]She might be really lost scared and frustrated
[01:25.66]I should try again to see what she's saying
[01:28.41]How'd you get here
[01:30.78]How'd you get so far from home
[01:33.13]What was it that made you leave
[01:35.76]Wonder what I'd do if it were me
[01:38.60]Chorus:
[01:39.47]A new point of view
[01:41.88]A walk in your shoes
[01:44.37]I wish I could get inside your head
[01:49.65]To see what you see when you look at me
[02:00.37]I wanna see oh see what you see
[02:05.34]And I wanna feel oh feel just what you feel
[02:19.52]Chorus:
[02:20.59]A new point of view
[02:23.00]A walk in your shoes
[02:25.73]I wish I could get inside your head
[02:30.86]To see what you see when you look at me
[02:36.14]Cause I could have lived your life instead
[02:52.42]To see what you see when you look at me
[02:56.66]Cause I could have lived your life instead
[03:06.37]Chorus(2x)
[03:07.08]Cuz I could have lived your life instead(2x)
[03:17.49]Cuz I could have lived your life instead(2x)
