PRELUDE Csus2 * * * INTRO Db|-8--------12----------|-5---------|-8--------5-----------|-0-------------| VERSE I 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 PRE-CHORUS 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 CHORUS 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 what they’ll find But I know that I can make it As long as somebody takes me home Every now and then BRIDGE Have you ever seen the lights? Have you ever seen the lights? VERSE II I took a shuttle on a shockwave ride Where people on the pen pull the trigger for accolades I took a bullet and I looked inside And running through my veins an American masquerade PRE-CHORUS I still remember grandma Dixie’s wake I never really known anybody that died before Red white and blue upon a birthday cake my brother he was born on the fourth of July And that’s all CHORUS 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 what they’ll find But I know that I can make it As long as somebody takes me home Every now and then Every now and then Every now and then OUTRO 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 *************************************************************************************** Did you like this tab?
