verse i

A C#m F#m C#m
nobody ever had a dream round here
A F#m C#m F#m
but i don’t really mind that it’s starting to get to me
A C#m F#m C#m
nobody ever pulls the seams round here
A F#m C#m F#m
but i don’t really mind that it’s starting to get to me

pre – chorus

E F#m B A
i’ve got this energy beneath my feet
D E C#m D
like something underground’s gonna come up and carry me ,
E F#m B A
i’ve got this sentimental heart that beats
D E C#m D
but i don’t really mind that it’s starting to get to me
E C#
now

chorus

C# F#m
why do you waste my time?
C#m D E A
is the answer to the question on your mind
F#m C#
and i’m sick of all my judges
D E C#
so scared of what they’ll find

F#m C#m
but i know that i can make it
D E A5
as long as somebody takes me home
A#m Bm Bm7 C#
every now and then

bridge

A C#m F#m
have you ever seen the lights?
A C#m F#m
have you ever seen the lights?

verse ii

A C#m F#m C#m
i took a shuttle on a shockwave ride
A F#m C#m F#m
where people on the pen pull the trigger for accolades
A C#m F#m C#m
i took a bullet and i looked inside
A F#m D F#m
and running through my veins an american masquerade

pre – chorus

E F#m B A
i still remember grandma dixie’s wake
D E C#m D
i never really known anybody that died before
E F#m B A
red white and blue upon a birthday cake
D E C#m D
my brother , he was born on the fourth of july
E C#
and that’s all

chorus

C# F#m
why do you waste my time?
C#m D E A
is the answer to the question on your mind
F#m C#
and i’m sick of all my judges
D E C#
so scared of what they’ll find

F#m C#m
but i know that i can make it
D E A5
as long as somebody takes me home
G#m F#m A#m *
every now and then
B5 C#5
every now and then
D5 E5
every now and then

outro

A C#m F#m C#m D C#m E
you know i see lon – don , i see sam’s town
A C#m F#m C#m D C#m E
holds my hand and let’s my hair down
A C#m F#m C#m D C#m E
rolls that world right off my shoulder
A C#m F#m C#m D C#m E
i see lon – don , i see sam’s town
F#
now
