Lyrics

(A)Grow in’ up,

(A)you don’t see the writ ing on the (A)wall.

(A)Pass in’ by,

(A)mov in’ straight a head, you knew it (A)all.

But may be (F#m7)some time, if you (D)feel the pain, you’ll find you’re (F#m7)all a lone; ev ’ry (D)thing has changed.

(A)Play the game;

(A)you know you can’t quit un til it’s (A)won.

(A)Sol dier on,

(A)on ly you can do what must be (A)done.

You know, in (F#m7)some way you’re a (D)lot like me.

You’re just a (F#m7)all a lone; ev ’ry (D)thing has changed.

(F#m7)pris on er, and you’re (D)try’n’ to break free.

(E)man.

I can see a new ho ri zon un der neath the (C#sus)blaz ing (C#)sky.

I’ll be where the ea gle’s fly ing (B)high er and (C#sus)high (C#)er.

Gon na be a man in mo tion.

All I need’s this (C#sus)pair of (C#)wheels.

Take me where the fu ture’s ly ing: (B)St.

El mo’s (C#sus)fire.

(B)St.

El mo’s (C#sus)fire.

I can climb the high est moun tain, cross the wild est (C#)sea.

I can feel St.

El mo’s fire (B)burn ing in (C#sus)me,

burn ing in (Ddim7)me,

Just once in his life

a man has his (E)time,

and my time is now!

I’m com in’ a (E)live!

I can hear the mu sic play in’; I can see the (C#sus)ban ners (C#)fly.

Feel be like a vet a gain; I (B)hope I ain’t (C#sus)high.

(C#)er.

Gon na be a man in mo tion.

All I need’s this (C#sus)pair of (C#)wheels.

Take me where the fu ture’s ly ing: (B)St.

El mo’s (C#sus)fire.

I can see a new ho ri zon un der neath the (C#sus)blaz ing (C#)sky.

Feel be where the ea gle’s fly ing (B)high er and (C#sus)high (C#)er.

Gon na be a man in mo tion.

All I need’s this (C#sus)pair of (C#)wheels.

Take me where the fu ture’s ly ing: (B)St.

El mo’s (C#sus)fire.
