Lyrics

[Intro]
| Bsus2 | - | - | - |
| C#m   | - | - | - |
| Asus2 | - | - | - |
| F#m   | - | - | - |

[Pre-Verse]
| A C#m | F#m - | A F#m | C#m - |
| A C#m | F#m - | A F#m | C#m - |

[Verse 1]
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      E
But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me now
C#                       F#m
Why do you waste my time?

[Chorus]
          C#             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#
But I know that I can make  it
           D        E            A
As long as somebody takes me home
      A#dim        Bm
Every now  and then
Bm7 C#
      Well,
         A             C#m
have you ever seen the lights?

[Pre-Verse]
F#m A F#m
C#m         A             C#m
   Have you ever seen the lights?
F#m A F#m C#m

[Verse 2]
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 it
A                  F#m
Running through my veins,
    C#m        F#m
an American masquerade

[Pre-Chorus]
E          F#m            B       A
 I still remember grandma Dixie's wake
     D            E        C#m        D
I've never really known anybody to die before
E
 Red,
          F#m         B        A
white and blue upon a birthday cake
   D
My brother,
       E           C#m           D           E
he was born on the fourth of July and that's all
   C#                       F#m
So why do you waste my time?

[Chorus]
          C#             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#
They're so scared of letting me shine
      F#m                 C#
But I know that I can make  it
           D        E
As long as somebody takes me home

[Interlude]
A E/G#
F#m
   Oh!
A#dim                  Bm
     Every now and then
C#m                  D
   Every now and then

[Verse 3]
E         E C#m F#m C#m D     C#m   B
 You know I see London, I see Sam's Town
E     C#m F#m  C#m D        C#m  B
Holds my  hand and let's my hair down
E     C#m  F#m   C#m   D      C#m  B
Rolls that world right off my shoulder
E C#m F#m C#m D     C#m   B    F#
I see London, I see Sam's Town now
