[D]So this is what you meant

When you said that you were spent

[A]And now it's time to build from the bottom of the pit

Right to the [Bm]top

Don't hold back

[G]Packing my bags and giving the academy a [D]rain check

 

I don't ever wanna let you down

[A]I don't ever wanna leave this [Bm]town

'Cause after [G]all

This city never sleeps at night

 

It's [D]time to begin, isn't it?

I get a little bit[Bm]bigger, but then I'll admit

I'm just the same as I[Em] was

Now don't you [G]understand?

That I'm never changing who I am

 

[D]　[A]　[Bm]　[G]

 

So [D]this is where you fell

And I am left to sell

[A]The path to heaven runs through miles of clouded hell

Right to the [Bm]top

Don't look back

[G]Turn in the rags and giving the commodities a [D]rain check

 

I don't ever wanna let you down

[A]I don't ever wanna leave this [Bm]town

'Cause after [G]all

This city never sleeps at night

 

It's [D]time to begin, isn't it?

I get a little bit [Bm]bigger, but then I'll admit

I'm just the same as I [Em]was

Now don't you [G]understand?

That I'm never changing who I am

It's [A]time to begin, isn't it?

I get a little bit [Bm]bigger, but then I'll admit

I'm just the same as I [E]was

Now don't you [G]understand?

That I'm never changing who I am

 

[Bm]This road never looked so [A]lonely

This house doesn't burn down [G]slowly

To [Em]ashes, to [G]ashes[A]

 

It's [D]time to begin, isn't it?

I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit

I'm just the same as I [Em]was

Now don't you [G]understand?

That I'm never changing who I am

It's [Bm]time to begin, isn't it?

I get a little bit [A]bigger, but then I'll admit

I'm just the same as I [G]was

[Em]Now don't you [G]understand?

[A]That I'm never changing who I am[D]
