   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                                              D 
  Packing my bags and giving the academy a rain check
[Pre-Refrão]
                                   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
[Refrão]
     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?

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                                                  D 
  Turning to rags and giving the commodities a rain check
[Pre-Refrão]
                                  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...

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