[Verse 1]

He said, "Call me the king of the street

'Cause I rule over all you can see"

But he was living like an outcast

His kingdom in a shot glass

But his castle is made out of sand

So he slept in a doorway instead

And although the buzz keeps him flying high

He misses his daughter sometimes

[Pre-Chorus]

And if you close your eyes

You can see the man

The man he used to be

Someone like you and me

[Chorus]

Reaching out with cold hands

Reaching out with cold hands

Reaching out with cold hands

Reaching out with cold hands

[Verse 2]

He was working from 7 to 5

Barely scraping enough to survive

To make that move on Wall Street

He ends up sitting on his car seat

[Pre-Chorus]

And if you close your eyes

You can see the man

The man he used to be

Someone like you and me

[Chorus]

Reaching out with cold hands

Reaching out with cold hands

[Bridge]

And when all you've built

Comes crashing down

When the ones you love

Leave you down and out

You reach out with cold hands

[Verse 3]

So I stand on the streets and I sing

Telling stories of where I've been

And all the people I've met on the way

But my guitar's getting harder to play

[Chorus]

'Cause I play with cold hands

Singing songs with cold hands

[Bridge]

And when all you've built

Comes crashing down

When the ones you love

Leave you down and out

You reach out with cold hands

[Chorus]

You reach out with cold hands
