D
So this is what you meant when you said that you were spent?
A                                                                  Bm
And now it's time to build from the bottom of the pit right to the top,

Don't hold back
G
Packing my bags and giving the academy a rain check


D                                         A
I don't ever want to let you down
                                         Bm
I don't ever want to leave this town
             G
'Cause after all

This city never sleeps at night...


D
It's time to begin, isn't it?
                    Bm
I get a little bit bigger, but then, 
                                   Em
I'll admit, I'm just the same as I was
                 G
Now don't you understand

That I'm never changing who I am?

Interlude: D A Bm G

D
So this is where you fell, and I am left to sell
A
the path that heaven runs through miles of clouded hell, 
             Bm
right to the top

Don't look back
G
Turning to rags and give the commodities a rain check


D
I don't ever want to let you down
A                                Bm
I don't ever want to leave this town
              G
'Cause after all

This city never sleeps at night...


D
It's time to begin, isn't it?
                     Bm
I get a little bit bigger, but then, 
                                    Em
I'll admit, I'm just the same as I was
                 G
Now don't you understand

That I'm never changing who I am?

Bm                          A
This road never looked so lonely,
                              G
This house doesn't burn down slowly,
Em            G
to ashes, to ashes...
