Capo 2.  Finger pick the chords and play it slowly.  Sounds beautiful.

G
So this is what you meant when you said that you were spent?
D                                                                  Em
And now it's time to build from the bottom of the pit right to the top,

Don't hold back
C
Packing my bags and giving the academy a rain check

G                                         D
I don't ever want to let you down
                                         Em
I don't ever want to leave this town
             C
'Cause after all

This city never sleeps at night...


G
It's time to begin, isn't it?
                    Em
I get a little bit bigger, but then, 
                                   C
I'll admit, I'm just the same as I was
                 Am
Now don't you understand
           C             D
That I'm never changing who I am?


G D Em C

G
So this is where you fell, and I am left to sell
D
the path that heaven runs through miles of clouded hell, 
             Em
right to the top

Don't look back
C
Turning to rags and give the commodities a rain check


G
I don't ever want to let you down
D                                Em
I don't ever want to leave this town
              C
'Cause after all

This city never sleeps at night...


G
It's time to begin, isn't it?
                     Em
I get a little bit bigger, but then, 
                                    C
I'll admit, I'm just the same as I was
                   Am
Now don't you understand
          C             D
That I'm never changing who I am?

                   Am
Now don't you understand
          C             D
That I'm never changing who I am?


Em                          G
This road never looked so lonely,
                              C
This house doesn't burn down slowly,
   Am        C      D
to ashes, to ashes...


G
It's time to begin, isn't it?
                   Em
I get a little bit bigger, but then, 
                                   C
I'll admit, I'm just the same as I was
Am                  C

That I'm never changing who I am?

Now don't you understand
          D
That I'm never changing who I am?
