Badlands - Bruce Springsteen

E  A B   E  A B   E  A B   A  B7

E                  A                 B
Lights out tonight trouble in the heartland
     E                    A             B
Got a head-on collision smashin' in my guts man
      E                    A               B    E
I'm caught in a crossfire that I don't understand
                 A                B7
But there's one thing I know for sure girl
I don't give a damn for the same old played out scenes 
I don't give a damn for just the in-betweens 
Honey I want the heart I want the soul i want control right now 
You better listen to me baby
     A
Talk about a dream try to make it real 
      B
You wake up in the night with a fear so real 
    A                                               B        A
You spend your life waiting for a moment that just don't come
       A    B               A  B
Well don't waste your time waiting

E                   A             C#m B
Badlands you gotta live it every day
        E
Let the broken hearts stand
        A                  C#m B
As the price you've gotta pay
           E
We'll keep pushin' till it's understood
           A               B          E   | A B |
And these badlands start treating us good

Workin' in the field till you get your back burned
Workin' `neath the wheels till you get your facts learned
Baby I got my facts learned real good right now
You better get it straight darling 
Poor man wanna be rich, rich man wanna be king
And a king ain't satisfied till he rules everything
I wanna go out tonight, I wanna find out what I got

Now I believe in the love that you gave me
I believe in the faith that could save me
I believe in the hope and I pray that some day
It will raise me above these

Chorus

For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep inside
That it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive
I wanna find one face that ain't looking through me
I wanna find one place, I wanna spit in the face of these

Chorus 
E   A   C#m B
Woah oh oh Badlands...
