Key:
E Lights out tonightA B Trouble in the heartlandE Got a head-on collisionA B Smashin' in my guts, manE A I'm caught in a cross fireB That I don't understand But there's one thing I know for sure girlE I don't give a damnA B For the same old played out scenesE I don't give a damnA B For just the in betweensE Honey, I want the heart, I wantA the soulB I want control right nowA Talk about a dream Try to make it realB You wake up in the night With a fear so realA Spend your life waitingContinues after the adB For a moment that just don't comeAB A B Well, don't waste your time waiting [Chorus]E A Badlands, you gotta live itC#m B everydayE A Let the broken hearts standC#m B As the price you've gotta payE We'll keep pushin' till it's understoodA And these badlands start treatingC#m B E E A A B us good [Verse 2] (Use the same chords form the first verse.(In some live versions, Bruce does a little note picking when the chords change. It seemed easy enoungh to tab out)A|7-----|Workin' in the fiedls E|-7-5-7| Till you get your back burned Workin' `neath the wheel Till you get your facts learned Baby I got my facts Learned real good right now You better get it straight darling Poor man wanna be rich, Rich man wanna be king And a king ain't satisfied Till he rules everything I wanna go out tonight, I wanna find out what I got Well I believe in the love that you gave me I believe in the love that you gave me I believe in the faith that could save me I believe in the hope And I pray that some day It may raise me above these [Chorus] (Same chords as before) [Interlude]E A B mmmmmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmmm X4 [Verse 3] (Still the same chords. Turn your guitar up, and palm mute The chords as you play them) For the ones who had a notion, A notion deep inside That it ain't no sin To be glad you're alive I wanna find one face That ain't looking through me I wanna find one place, I wanna spit in the face of these badlands [Chorus] Same chords. End with: BADA NDS! WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA X4 [Other] (optional):This is yet another thing Bruce does in some live versions.
