(Intro)

[G](R [|]ef [D]er [-]t [C]o [|]so [D]ng [-]f [Em]or [|]ti [G]mi [-]ng [Am], i [|]t' [Am]ll

[-]be [Cadd9]impor [|]ta [C]nt for chorus and ending)

(Verses) I & II

[G]You lost faith in the [D]human spirit

[Fmaj7]You walk around like a [C]ghost

[Cm]Your star-spangled [G*]heart

Took [Am]a train for the [D]coast

[G]When you shine you're a [D]hilltop mansion

[Fmaj7]So how'd you lose the [C]light?

Was it [Cm]blown by the [G*]wind,

In the [Am]still of the [D]night?

[C]We're up against the wall

(Chorus) (strum like intro)

[G]Up against the wall

[D][-][C]There's something dying on [D]th [-]the [Em]street

When they knock you down

[G][-][Am]You're gonna get back on [Cadd9]your feet

[C](No you can't stop [D]now)

(Verses) III & IV

[G]I always saw you as a [D]kind of keeper

[Fmaj7]A mother to a [C]child

But your [Cm]boys have grown [G*]soft

And your [Am]girls have gone [D]wi [-]wild [Dsus2]ld

[G]From the blue ridge [D]to the black hills

[Fmaj7]To the redwood [C]sky

The [Cm]season may [G]pass

But the [Am]dream [D]doesn't die

[C]Why did you drop the ball?

(Chorus) (strum like intro)

[G]Up against the wall

[D][-][C]There's something dying on [D]th [-]the [Em]street

When they knock you down

[G][-][Am]You're gonna get back on [Cadd9]your feet

[C](No you can't stop [D]now)

[G]When they break your heart

[D][-][C]When they cause your soul [D]to [-]to [Em]mourn

Remember what I said

[G][-][Am]Boy you was [Cadd9]battle born

[C](No, you can't stop [D]now)

INTERLUDE

[Em][Am]You was battle [Cadd9]born...

[Em]When the night falls on the [C]land

Are you haunted by the [Am]sound?.. [Cadd9]sound?...

[Em]It's gonna take more than a [Cadd9]hand

To turn this thing [Am]around

Won't you lean it on [C]me?

Rescue, [Am]set me [Em]free

(Chorus) (strum like intro)

[G]Up against the wall

[D][-][C]There's something dying on [D]th [-]the [Em]street

When they knock you down

[G][-][Am]You're gonna get back on [Cadd9]your feet

[C]('Cause you can't stop [D]now)

[G]Did they break your heart?

[D][-][C]Did they cause your soul [D]to [-]to [Em]mourn

Remember what I said

[G][-][Am]Boy you was [Cadd9]battle born

[C]('Cause you can't stop [D]now)

[G]Come on show your face

[D][-][C]Come on give us one [D]mor [-]more [Em]spark

So we'll start a fire

[G][-][Am]Unless we fall into [Cadd9]the dark

[C](And you can't stop [D]now)

[G]You never know if you never learn

[D][-][C]You never shine if you never burn

[D][-][Em]The rising tide, the undertow

[G][-][Am]The venom and the overflow

You turn [Cadd9]away, [C]welcome home

[G][D][-][C][D][-][Em][G][-][Am][Am][-][Cadd9][C]

[G][D][-][C][D][-][Em][G][-][Am][Am][-][Cadd9][C][G]
