Nobody ever had a dream round here

But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me

Nobody ever pulls the seams round here

But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me
D             Em       Am       G
I've got this energy beneath my feet
     C              D              B           C
Like something underground's gonna come up and carry me
D             Em          Am         G
I've got this sentimental heart that beats

But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me

Now.. Why do you waste my time?
       Bm            C        D       G   G/F#
Is the answer to the question on your mind
        Em             B         C         D            B
And I'm sick of all my judges so scared of what they'll find
      Em              Bm                 C        D        G
But I know that I can make it as long as somebody takes me home

Every now and then...

             G             Bm    Em      G  Em Bm
Oh, have you ever seen the lights?
         G             Bm    Em      G Em Bm
Have you ever seen the lights?


G          Bm           Em         Bm
I took the shuttle on a shock-wave ride
          G             Em           B           Em
Where the people on the pen pull the trigger for accolade
G        Bm             Em    Bm
I took a bullet, and I looked inside
G                  Em         B       Em
Running through my veins an American masquerade
D         Em         Am          G
I still remember Grandma Dixie's wake
    C              D      B       C
I'd never really known anybody to die before
D              Em          Am      G
Red white and blue upon a birthday cake
    C              D            B         C
My brother, he was born on the fourth of the July
           D       B                    Em
And that's all, So why do you waste my time?
       Bm            C        D       G   G/F#
Is the answer to the question on your mind
        Em             B          C                    B
And I'm sick of all my judges, so scared of letting me shine
      Em              Bm                  C        D        G  G/F#  Em

You know I see London,  I see Sam's Town
G     Bm Em   Bm  C     Am G    D
Holds my hand and let's my hair down
G     Bm   Em    Bm    C   Am  G   D
Rolls that world right off my shoulder
