Lyrics

So (D)this is what you meant when you said that you were spent.

And now it’s time to build from the bot tom of the pit right to the top.

Don’t hold back.

Pack ing my bags, and giv ing the A cad e my a (D)rain check.

I don’t ev er wan na let you down.

I don’t ev er wan na leave this town.

’Cause af ter all,

the cit y nev er sleeps at night.

It’s (D)time to be gin, is n’t it?

I get a lit tle bit (Bm)big ger, but then, I’ll ad mit, I’m just the same as I (Em)was.

Now, don’t you un der stand

that I’m nev er chang ing who I am?

So (G)nev er chang ing who I am?

It’s (D)time to be gin, is n’t it?

I get a lit tle bit (Bm)big ger, but then, I’ll ad mit, I’m just the same as I (E)was.

Now, don’t you un der stand

that I’m nev er chang ing who I am?

This road nev er looked so (A)lone ly.

This house does n’t burn down (G)slow ly

to ash es,

to ash es.

It’s (CN.C.)time to be gin, is n’t it?

I get a lit tle bit big ger, but then, I’ll ad mit, I’m just the same as I (Em)was.

Now, don’t you un der stand

that I’m nev er chang ing who I am?

It’s (Bm)time to be gin, is n’t it?

I get a lit tle bit (A)big ger, but then, I’ll ad mit, I’m just the same as I (G)was.

Now, don’t you un der stand

that I’m nev er chang ing who I am?
