       D 
So this is what you meant when you said that you were spent?
 A4                                                                                                                                   Bm7 
    And now it' s time to build from the bottom of the pit right to the top
Don' t hold back
 G                                                                                       D 
    Packing my bags and giving the academy a rain check
I don' t ever want to let you down
 A4                                                                     Bm7 
      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?
                                 Bm7 
I get a little bit bigger, but then
                                                                       Em7 
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 
So this is where you fell, and I am left to sell
 A4 
    The path that heaven runs through miles of clouded hell
                     Bm7 
Right to the top
Don' t look back
 G                                                                                           D 
    Turning to rags and give the commodities a rain check
                                                                   A4 
I don' t ever want to let you down
                                                                       Bm7 
    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?
                                 Bm7 
I get a little bit bigger, but then
                                                                     Em7 
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 
It' s time to begin, isn' t it?
                                 Bm7 
I get a little bit bigger, but then
                                                                       Em7 
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?
 Bm7                                                   A4 
      This road never looked so lonely
                                                             G 
This house doesn' t burn down slowly
         Em7             G       A4 
To ashes, to ashes
             D 
It' s time to begin, isn' t it?
                                 Bm7 
I get a little bit bigger, but then
                                                                       Em7 
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?
             Bm7 
It' s time to begin, isn' t it?
                                       A4 
I get a little bit bigger, but then
                                                                       G 
I' ll admit, I' m just the same as I was
 Em7                                           G 
        Now don' t you understand
                 A4 
That I' m never changing who I am?
