  VERSE I

A5      C#5        F#5         C#5
Nobody ever had a dream round here
    A5              F#5            C#5         F#5
But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me
A5      C#5            F#5         C#5
Nobody ever pulls the seams round here
    A5              F#5            C#5         F#5
But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me


  PRE-CHORUS

E5             F#5      B5        A5 
I've got this energy beneath my feet
     D5              E5              C#5         D5
Like something underground's gonna come up and carry me,
E5             F#5         B5          A5 
I've got this sentimental heart that beats
    D5              E5              C#5         D5
But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me
E5    C#5
Now


  CHORUS

C#5                  F#5
Why do you waste my time?
       C#5           D5        E5       A5 
Is the answer to the question on your mind
        F#5            C#5
And I'm sick of all my judges
    D5        E5            C#5
So scared of what they'll find


      F#5             C#5
But I know that I can make it
           D5        E5        A5
As long as somebody takes me home
      Bb5     B5    B5   C#5
Every now and then



  BRIDGE

         A5             C#5      F#5
Have you ever seen the lights?
         A5             C#5      F#5
Have you ever seen the lights?


  VERSE II

A5        C#5          F#5       C#5
I took a shuttle on a shockwave ride
      A5             F#5          C#5         F#5
Where people on the pen pull the trigger for accolades
A5        C#5          F#5      C#5
I took a bullet and i looked inside
     A5                  F#5       D5       F#5
And  running through my veins an American masquerade



  PRE-CHORUS

E5         F#5            B5       A5
I still remember grandma Dixie's wake
  D5            E5        C#5       D5
I never really known anybody that died before
E5             F#5         B5        A5
Red white and blue upon a birthday cake
    D5              E5           C#5         D5
my brother, he was born on the fourth of July
           E5    C#5
And that's all


  CHORUS

C#5                  F#5
Why do you waste my time?
       C#5           D5        E5       A5
Is the answer to the question on your mind
        F#5            C#5
And I'm sick of all my judges
    D5        E5            C#5
So scared of what they'll find


      F#5             C#5
But I know that I can make it
           D5        E5        A5
As long as somebody takes me home
      Ab5     F#5   Bb5 *
Every now and then
              B5    C#5
Every now and then
              D5    E5
Every now and then


  OUTRO

         A5 C#5 F#5 C#5  D5     C#5   E5
You know I see Lon-don, I see Sam's Town
A5     C#5 F#5  C#5 D5        C#5  E5
Holds my  hand and let's my hair down
A5     C#5  F#5   C#5   D5      C#5  E5
Rolls that world right off my shoulder
A5 C#5 F#5 C#5  D5     C#5   E5   
I see Lon-don, I see Sam's Town 
F#5
Now
