Chords

Em
   We were the magnificent dreamers.

Em
   In secret lamplight hideouts.

Em
   We swore the world couldn't break us,

Em
   Even when the world took us down.

   Em                        C
So here I am struggling out in the mighty jungle,

       G                            D
Moving eighteen miles a minute, not slowing down for nothing.

  Em                    C
I look to my left and I look to my right,

        G
And I'm callin' out for my brothers

         D
But it's so dark in this night, am I alone?

Em
   Did they fall down by the wayside?

Em
   Was I moving too blind to see them?

Em
   Were they calling out to me?

Em
   Or did Despair set in?

          Em                        C
Were the things that we wanted when we were still sixteen,

     G                             D
Only passing and fleeting, or just too far out of reach?

         Em                       C
Were you hard up or broken man, I woulda helped you out...

         G                        D
Were you numb and distracted when I was calling out?

D
I was calling out...

     G                  D
On a Sunday morning the whole crowd assembled,

Em
I've done some things that I'm not too proud of...

G                      D
I've never left you, a deaf ear for longing.

C                                                   G
Some hearts are gallows, I'm not here for hangin' around.

G
 It's all right, man.

D
 I'm only bleeding, man.

Em
Stay hungry, stay free,

Em
And do the best you can.
