D
When she asks me where I'm from
G
I catch my tongue before saying I'm American
A# A
It's getting embarrassing (It's getting embarrassing)
D
Freedom's running up a fever
Change ain't nothing but a T-shirt
G
All my heroes need a rework
A# A
Or they're in the freezer
[Pre-Chorus]
F
I'm feeling
C
Like I don't have a reason to believe in
D G
Lying on the pavement, they're leaving me behind
I'm bleeding out
[Chorus]
D
I don't wanna move on
C G
But I don't wanna get left behind
D
I don't wanna move on
G F
But I don't wanna gеt left behind
D
I wanna lead a gеneration
C G
But the train's about to leave the station
D
I don't wanna move on
G F
But I don't wanna get left behind
[Instrumental]
|D |C G |D
[Post-Chorus]
G
But I don't wanna get left behind
[Verse 2]
D
Maybe they would listen to me one time
C G
If I died on the frontline
D
As a martyr in the bloodline
G
Instead, I'm singing in the sunshine
F
Oh no, no, no
D
I talked to an old man, he said, "Listen, son
I, too, thought I'd start a revolution
G
If you don't die young, then you live to see
A# A
That which you fear is that which you become"
[Pre-Chorus]
F
I'm feeling
C
Like I don't have a reason to believe in
G
Lying on the pavement, they're leaving me behind
I'm bleeding out
[Chorus]
D
I don't wanna move on
C G
But I don't wanna get left behind
D
I don't wanna move on
G F
But I don't wanna get left behind
D
I wanna lead a generation
C G
But the train's about to leave the station
D
I don't wanna move on
G F
But I don't wanna get left behind
[Instrumental]
|D |C G |D
[Post-Chorus]
G F
But I don't wanna get left behind
[Pre-Chorus]
C
I'm feeling
G
Like I don't have a reason to believe in
F
Lying on the pavement, they're leaving me behind
D
I'm bleeding out
C
I'm grieving
G
But does any of this pain have meaning
Or is it all for nothing?
F D
They're leaving me behind, I'm bleeding out
[Chorus]
D
I don't wanna move on
C G
But I don't wanna get left behind (I don't wanna be left behind)
D
I don't wanna move on
G F
But I don't wanna get left behind (I don't wanna be left behind)
D
I wanna lead a generation
C G
But the train's about to leave the station
D
I don't wanna move on
G F
But I don't wanna get left behind (I don't wanna be left behind)
[Instrumental]

But I don't wanna get left behind
