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...

       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
