[B] [C#] [A] [F#m]
[A] [D] [A]
[D] [A] [D] [A] Running out the [D] front door, [A] down the steps, into the [D] road
[A] Too [F#m] wet, too cold, the [D] box is fled anyway
[Bm] Up the [F#m] street, an army's [Bm] coming, back to [F#m] father's coming [Bm] home
See all [D] my tomorrow [E] in their [F#m] [E] eyes
[A]
[E] [A] Well be [D] the boy who'll be [A] riding [E] on it down
[F#m] Ain't got [A] no other way to get around
And [F#m] one [D] day we'll [A] spit on [E] this old town
[D] They'll hear thunder [A] when our [D] feet [A] hit the ground
[D] [A] We [D] live on smoke, we [A] live on dust, we live [D] on rain
[A] [C#m] Living [F#m] in our own time [D] still feels borrowed anyway
[Bm] One day [F#m] I'll see this big [Bm] city over my [F#m] shoulder one last [Bm] time
Feel all my [D] tomorrow [E] in my feet
[A] Well be the [D] boy who'll be [A] riding [E] on it down
[D] Ain't got no [A] other [D] way to [A] get around
And [F#m] one [D] day we'll [A] spit on [E] this old town
[F#m] They'll hear [D] thunder [A] when our [D] feet [A] hit the ground
Some [Am] [A]

[D] [E]
[D] [A] [D] [A]
[D] knew their place, [A] some knew their time, and [D] I heard some sing
[A] [E] I [F#m] recall nothing, [D] but I remember everything
[Bm] One day [F#m] I'll see this old [Bm] city over [F#m] my shoulder one last [Bm] time
Hold all [D] my tomorrow [E] in my [B]
[E] hands
In my [A] [Bm] hands
[E] [A] Well be the boy [D] who'll be [A] riding [E] on it down
[D] Ain't got [A] no other [D] way [A] to get around
[F#m] And [D] one day we'll [A] spit on [E] this old town
[D] They'll hear thunder [A] when our [D] feet [A] hit the ground
Well be the [F#m] boy [A] who'll be riding [E] on it down
[F#m] Ain't got [A] no other way to get around
And [F#m] one [D] day we'll [A] spit on [E] this old town
[F#m] They'll hear [A] thunder when our [A] feet hit the ground
[D] They'll hear [A] thunder when our [D] feet hit [A] the ground
[F#m] They'll hear thunder, thunder when [D] our feet
When our feet, when our feet hit [A] the ground
