Capo 2nd Fret
G5 B5 E5   G5 E5 B5
G5 B5 E5   G5 E5 B5

G5      B5         E5          B5        
Nobody ever had a dream round here 
    G5              E5             B5           E5
But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me
G5      B5             E5          B5        
Nobody ever pulls the seams round here 
    G5              E5             B5           E5
But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me
D5             E5       A5       G5          
I've got this energy beneath my feet 
     C5              D5              B5           C5
Like something underground's gonna come up and carry me
D5             E5          A5         G5            
I've got this sentimental heart that beats 
    C5              D5              B5           C5
But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me

D5       B5                 E5              
Now.."Why do you waste my time?"
       B5            C5        D5       G5   G5
Is the answer to the question on your mind
        E5             B5         C5         D5            B5
And I'm sick of all my judges so scared of what they'll find
      E5              B5                 C5        D5        G5      
But I know that I can make it as long as somebody takes me home
      G#5     A5     A5 E5 B5
Every now and then...

             G5             B5    E5      G5  E5 B5
Oh, have you ever seen the lights? 
         G5             B5    E5      G5 E5 B5
Have you ever seen the lights?

I took the shuttle on a shock-wave ride 
Where the people on the pen pull the trigger for accolade
I took a bullet, and I looked inside 
Running through my veins an American masquerade
I still remember Grandma Dixie's wake 
I'd never really known anybody to die before
Red white and blue upon a birthday cake 
My brother, he was born on the fourth of the July

And that's all, "So why do you waste my time?" 
Is the answer to the question on your mind
And I'm sick of all my judges, so scared of letting me shine
      E5              B5                  C5        D5        G5  G5  E5    
But I know that I can make it, as long as somebody takes me home..
G#5           A5   B5                C5    D5 D5
Every now and then,    Every now and then
         G5 B5  E5 B5    C5 A5  G5     D5
You know I see London,  I see Sam's Town 
Holds my hand and let's my hair down
Rolls that world right off my shoulder
G5 B5  E5 B5    C5 A5 G5      D5    E5
I see London,  I see Sam's Town now
