(Chorus/Intro)
C F
Not without a purpose and it's not without a fight
C G
I've got three tales to tell you so please sit tight
C Am F
C
It's the story of three underdogs who've grown to see their light
C G F G C
Not without a purpose, not without a fight
(Verse)
C5 .................................... G5 ........................
Been away for far too long, you're on my mind
.............. A5 .............. C5 .......... F5 ............
Got your picture and I stare at it all the time
C5 .............................. G5 ..................
Minutes turn to hours, hours into days
........... A5 .................. C5 ........... F5 ............
And as each one passes by it feels all the same
(Pre-chorus)
G5 G5
But the lights they go dark, Man In Black on the P.A.
G5 (Power slide)
Walk up the stairs as one again to decimate the stage
(Chorus)
C5 F5
Not without a purpose and it's not without a fight
C5 G5
Our spirit lives forever blinded by the city lights
C5 A5 F5
C5
If we keep our act together we might make another night
C5 G5 F5 G5 C5
Not without a purpose, not without a fight
(Verse)
C5 ........................................... G5 .............
Hey, I was always just another average kid
.............. A5 ....... C5 ................... F5
Looking up to the Pistols, idolizing Sid
C5 .......................................... G5 .............
I guess my parents never really felt the same
A5 ....................... C5 ............................. F5
Spikes and leather jackets hurt my family name
(Pre-Chorus)
G5 G5
Now I'm on the streets, now I've been locked out
G5 (Power slide)
Friends and punk rock music were the only way out
(Verse)
C5 ................................. G5 .....................
I started as a firm believer, now I own my doubts
......... A5 ............... C5 .................. F5 ......
As it's pretty clear a civil war has broken out
C5 ............................. G5 .........................
A Southie iron worker leaving work behind
.. A5 ....... C5 ............................... F5 .............
As W.M.D. propaganda warped my fragile mind
(Pre-chorus)
G5 G5
But now I've lived the truth, my eyes are open wide
G5 (Power slide)
E.T.S. to Boston leave an oil war behind
(Chorus)
C5 F5
Not without a purpose and it's not without a fight
C5 G5
Another poor kid caught up in a fire fight
C5 A5 F5 C5
I do believe in Jesus and I pray to God tonight
C5 G5 F5 G5 C5
Not without a purpose, not without a fight
(Solo)
C5 D5 F5 G5
(Bridge)
C5 D5 F5 G5
Never give up, never give in, never walk away, always fighting
Never give up, never give in, never walk away, always fighting
(Verse)

And as each one passes by it feels all the same

Not without a purpose and it's not without a fight

Our spirit lives forever blinded by the city lights
C5 A5 F5

If we keep our act together we might make another night
C5 G5 F5 G5 C5
Not without a purpose, not without a fight
C5 G5 F5 G5 C5 (Hold)
Not without a purpose not without a fight to the end
