[Verse]
G Bm Em Bm
Nobody ever had a dream round here
G Em B Em
But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me
G Bm Em Bm
Nobody ever pulls the seams round here
G Em B Em
But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me
D Em Am G
I've got this energy beneath my feet
C D B C
Like something underground's gonna come up and carry me
D Em Am G
I've got this sentimental heart that beats
C D B C
But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me
[Chorus]
D B Em
Now, "Why do you waste my time?"
Bm C D G G/F#
Is the answer to the question on your mind
Em B C D B
And I'm sick of all my judges so scared of what they'll find
Em Bm C D G
But I know that I can make it as long as somebody takes me home
G#m Am Am Em Bm
Every now and then...
[Post Chorus]
G Bm Em G Em Bm
Oh, have you ever seen the lights?
G Bm Em G Em Bm
Have you ever seen the lights?
[Verse]
G Bm Em Bm
I took a shuttle on a shockwave ride
G Em B Em
Where people on the pen pull the trigger for accolade
G Bm Em Bm
I took a bullet and I looked inside
G Em B Em
Running through my veins an American masquerade
D Em Am G
I still remember Grandma Dixie's wake
C D B C
I'd never really known anybody to die before
D Em Am G
Red, white, and blue upon a birthday cake
C D B C
My brother he was born on the Fourth of July and that's
[Chorus]
D B Em
All, so "Why do you waste my time?"
Bm C D G G/F#
Is the answer to the question on your mind
Em B C D B
And I'm sick of all my judges so scared of letting me shine
Em Bm C D G G/F# Em
But I know that I can make it, as long as somebody takes me home..
G#m Am Bm C D Dsus4
Every now and then, Every now and then
G Bm Em Bm C Am G D
You know I see London, I see Sam's Town
G Bm Em Bm C Am G D
Holds my hand and lets my hair down
G Bm Em Bm C Am G D
Rolls that world right off my shoulder
G Bm Em Bm C Am G D E
I see London, I see Sam's Town now
