Intro:

[E/B] [E/C#] [E/A] {E/F#m]

[A] [C#m] [F#m]
[A] [C#m] [F#m]

Verse 1:
[A]Nobody [C#m]ever had a [F#m]dream round [C#m]here, 
but [A]I don't really [F#m]mind that it's [C#]starting to [F#m]get to me 
[A]Nobody [C#m]ever pulls the [F#m]seams round [C#m]here,
but [A]I don't really [F#m]mind that it's [C#]starting to [F#m]get to me
[E]I've got this [F#m]energy be[Bm]neath my [A]feet
like [D]something under[E]ground's gonna [C#]come up and [D]carry me,
[E]I've got this [F#m]sentimental [Bm]heart that [A]beats
but [D]I don't really [E]mind and it's [C#]starting to [D]get to me

Chorus 1:
[E]Now, [C#]"Why do you waste my [F#m]time?"
Is the [C#m]answer to the [D]question [E]on your [A]mind [A/G#]
And I'm [F#m]sick of all my [C#m]judges
so [D]scared of [E]what they'll [C#]find
But I [F#m]know that I can [C#m]make it
As long as [D]somebody [E]takes me [A]home, 
every [F#]now and [Bm]then... [C#m]


Oh, have you [A]ever seen the [C#m]lights? [F#m]
[A] [F#m] [C#m]
Have you [A]ever seen the [C#m]lights? [F#m]
[A] [F#m] [C#m]

Verse 2: (Same chords as verse 1)
I took a shuttle on a shock-wave ride,
where people on the pen pull the trigger for accolades
I took a bullet, and I looked inside it
Running through my veins
An American masquerade
I still remember Grandma Dixie's wake, 
I 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

Chorus 2: (same chords as other chorus 1)
"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
But I know that I can make it,
as long as somebody takes me home...

[F#] [Bm] [C#m] [D] [E]

You know [A]I [C#m]see [F#m]Lon[C#m]don, [D/F#]I [D]see [C#m]Sam's [E]Town
[A]holds [C#m]my [F#m]hand [C#m]and [D/F#]lets [D]my [C#m]hair [E]down
[A]Rolls [C#m]that [F#m]world [C#m]right [D/F#]off [D]my [C#m]shoul[E]der
[A]I [C#m]see [F#m]Lon[C#m]don, [D/F#]I [D]see [C#m]Sam's [E]Town [F#]now.

[F#] [B] [F#]
