( C , F , D , Am , G )

C
 Been the crawl of a mountain Been a link in a chain

 Been scolded for stealin' Been told to behave
F
 Been readin' the forecast Somethin's coming this way

 But it's takin' forever I'm too tired to maintain that
     C
 I'm slow

 Been a scratch on the surface Been a clog in the drain

 Been melodramatic Been sleepin' for days
F
 Been one in a million Been a million to one

 This is takin' forever Always seems to return that
     C
 I'm slow


 F                        C
 All hands up, salute the Empire State
 F                           C
 Faith be true, you know the way
 D                         Am
 Ten feet tall in this: an empty space
         F
 Fallen walls all around
            G
 Destroyed again
            C
 Destroyed again

 Been diggin' to China Been a fish in the sea

 Been talkin' to Jesus But he's not talkin' to me
F
 Been readin' the forecast Something's coming this way

 But it's taken forever And I've already maintained that
     C
 I'm slow

 F                        C
 All hands up, salute the Empire State
 F                            C
 Faith is true, she knows the way
 D                          Am
 Ten miles tall in this: an empty space
        F
 Fallen walls all around
              G
 We'll build again
          C ( continue for the rest of the song.)
 Rebuild again


 Been the crawl of a mountain

 Been a link in a chain

 Been scolded for stealin'

 Been carted away
