[Verse]
G      Bm         Em          Bm
Nobody ever had a dream round here
    G              Em             
But I don't really mind that it's 
B           Em
starting to get to me
G      Bm             Em         
Nobody ever pulls the seams round 
 Bm
here
    G              Em             
But I don't really mind that it's 
B           Em
starting to get to me
D             Em       Am       G
I've got this energy beneath my feet
     C              D              
Like something underground's gonna 
B           C
come up and carry me
D             Em          Am    
I've got this sentimental heart 
     G
that beats
    C              D              
But I don't really mind that it's 
B           C
starting to get to me

[Chorus]
D       B                 Em
Now, "Why do you waste my time?"
       Bm            C        D  
Is the answer to the question on 
     G   G/F#
your mind

        Em             B         
And I'm sick of all my judges so 
C         D            B
scared of what they'll find
      Em              Bm       
But I know that I can make it as 
          C        D        G
long as somebody takes me home
      G#m     Am     Am Em Bm
Every now and then...

[Post Chorus]
             G             Bm    
Oh, have you ever seen the 
Em      G  Em Bm
lights?
         G             Bm    Em  
Have you ever seen the lights?
    G Em Bm


[Verse]
G        Bm           Em        Bm
I took a shuttle on a shockwave ride
      G             Em         
Where people on the pen pull the 
   B          Em
trigger for accolade
G        Bm            Em      Bm
I took a bullet and I looked inside
G                  Em         B 
Running through my veins an 
     Em
American masquerade
D       Em               Am      
I still remember Grandma Dixie's 
G
wake
    C             D       B       
I'd never really known anybody to 
 C
die before
D               Em          Am  
Red, white, and blue upon a 
     G
birthday cake
   C              D           B  
My brother he was born on the 
       C
Fourth of July and that's

[Chorus]
D       B                    Em
All, so "Why do you waste my time?"
       Bm            C        D  
Is the answer to the question on 
     G   G/F#
your mind
        Em             B         
And I'm sick of all my judges so 
C         D            B
scared of letting me shine
      Em              Bm          
But I know that I can make it, as 
        C        D        G  G/F#
long as somebody takes me home..
  Em

G#m           Am   Bm           
Every now and then,    Every now
     C    D Dsus4
 and then
         G Bm  Em Bm    C Am  
You know I see London,  I see 
G     D
Sam's Town
G     Bm Em   Bm  C    Am G    D
Holds my hand and lets my hair down
G     Bm   Em    Bm    C   Am 
Rolls that world right off my 
G    D
shoulder
G Bm  Em Bm    C Am G      D    E
I see London,  I see Sam's Town now
