G | D - C | D - Em | G - Am | Am - Cadd9 | C (Refer to song for timing, it'll be important for chorus and ending) [Verse] G D You lost faith in the human spirit Fmaj7 C You walk around like a ghost Cm G* Your star-spangled heart Am D Took a train for the coast G D When you shine you're a hilltop mansion Fmaj7 C So how'd you lose the light? Cm G* Was it blown by the wind, Am D In the still of the night? C We're up against the wall [Chorus] G Up against the wall D - C D - Em There's something dying on the street When they knock you down G - Am G - Cadd9 You're gonna get back on your feet C D (No you can't stop now) [Verse] G D I always saw you as a kind of keeper Fmaj7 C A mother to a child Cm G* But your boys have grown soft Am D - Dsus2 And your girls have gone wild G D From the blue ridge to the black hills Fmaj7 C To the redwood sky Cm G The season may pass Am D But the dream doesn't die C Why did you drop the ball? CHORUS (strum like intro) G Up against the wall D - C D - Em There's something dying on the street When they knock you down G - Am G - Cadd9 You're gonna get back on your feet C D (No you can't stop now) G When they break your heart D - C D - Em When they cause your soul to mourn Remember what I said G - Am Cadd9 Boy you was battle born C D (No, you can't stop now) [Interlude] Am Cadd9 Em Dsus2 You was battle born... Am Cadd9 When the night falls on the land, Em Dsus2 are you haunted by the sound?... Am Cadd9 It's gonna take more than a hand. Em to turn this thing around Won't you lean it on me?
