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?


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? x2


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


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?
