[Intro] |A E |B F#m | |A E |B | |A E |B F#m | |A E |B | [Verse 1]
    A        E
If life was simple

B                     A      E   B  F#m
Every day like Sunday afternoon

         A     E
There'd be no reason

    B                         A      E   B  F#m
To wake up, fight back, be a better you
[Pre-Chorus 1]
      A            E
Come dance by the fire

             B
'Til you're feeling higher

           A         E
Than the State of Empire

          B        F#m
Let that New York feeling

           E
Kill your pain into your ears

          F#m
Let the rhythm dry your tears

        B
As the world stops
[Chorus]
                   A  E  B  F#m
And the band plays

 A              E              B
Walking to the light all of a sudden

                   A  E  B  F#m
And the band plays

A              E                B
Always making something out of nothing

           A              E
Turn your heartache into loving

F#m
  And the band plays
[Instrumental] |A E |B F#m | |A E |B | [Verse 2]

Beware the straight roads

B                             A          E  B  F#m
Or they'll catch you sleeping at the wheel

     A        E         B
The warning sirens are more than sounds

                   A       E   B  F#m
There's something you can feel
[Pre-Chorus 2]
      A             E
Come let down your hair

          B
Let your despair be shared

         A             E
You can dance in your bed

          B        F#m
Let that downtown feeling

           E
Kill your pain and all your fears

          F#m
Let the rhythm dry your tears

        B
As the work stops
[Chorus]
                   A  E  B  F#m
And the band plays

 A              E              B
Walking to the light all of a sudden

                   A  E  B  F#m
And the band plays

A              E                B
Always making something out of nothing

           A              E
Turn your heartache into loving

 A                 E
Can you hear the trumpets

   B                       A  E  B  F#m
Screaming at the trombones

 A              E               B
Walking to the light all of a sudden

Turn your heartache into loving
