Am
You can't run away forever
Think of how we'd lay down together
F C G
But there's nothing wrong with getting a good head start
We'd be listening to the radio so loud and so strong
E
You want to shut out the night
Every golden nugget coming
F
You want to shut down the sun
like a gift of the gods
Bb G
You want to shut away the pieces of a broken heart
Someone must have blessed us when he gave us those songs
C
I treasure your love
Am
I never want to lose it
I want to show you how to use it
F C
You've been through the fires of hell
You've been through a lot of pain in the dirt
Dm G
And I know you've got the ashes to prove it
And I know you've got the scars to prove it
F G C
Remember everything that I told you
F G C
And I'm telling you again that it's true
F G C
When you're alone and afraid And you're completely amazed
F G
To find there's nothing anybody can do Keep on believing And you'll discover baby
C
There's always something magic
The beat is yours forever
Am
There's always something new
The beat is always true
F C
And when you really really need it the most
Dm G
That's when rock and roll dreams come through
....for you... (End in C )
Am
Once upon a time was a backbeat
F G
Once upon a time all the chords came to life
E F
And the angels had guitars even before they had wings
Bb G
If you hold onto a chorus you can get through the night
I treasure your love
I never want to lose it
You've been through the fires of hell
And I know you've got the ashes to prove it
I treasure you love
I want to show you how to use it
You've been through a lot of pain in the dirt
And I know you've got the scars to prove it
Remember everything that I told you
And I'm telling you again that it's true
You're never alone cause you can put on the phones
And let the drummer tell your heart what to do
Keep on believing
And you'll discover baby
