Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Nobody ever had a dream round here

 But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me

Nobody ever pulls the seams round here

 But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me

I've got this energy beneath my feet

 Like something underground's gonna come up and carry me

I've got this sentimental heart that beats

 But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me

Now.."Why do you waste my time?"

  [G/f#]

Is the answer to the question on your mind

 And I'm sick of all my judges so scared of what they'll find

 But I know that I can make it as long as somebody takes me home

 Every now and then...

 Oh, have you ever seen the lights?

 Have you ever seen the lights?

I took the shuttle on a shock-wave ride

Where the people on the pen pull the trigger for accolade

I took a bullet, and I looked inside

Running through my veins an American masquerade

I still remember Grandma Dixie's wake

I'd never really known anybody to die before

Red white and blue upon a birthday cake

My brother, he was born on the fourth of the July

And that's all, "So why do you waste my time?"

Is the answer to the question on your mind

And I'm sick of all my judges, so scared of letting me shine

  [G/f#]

But I know that I can make it, as long as somebody takes me home..

Every now and then, Every now and then

 You know I see London, I see Sam's Town

Holds my hand and let's my hair down

Rolls that world right off my shoulder

I see London, I see Sam's Town now
