F C Bb C Dm F Gm Gm Bb

F C
Lost faith in the human spirit
Dm Bb
You walk around like a ghost
F
Your star spangled heart
Gm C
Took a train for the coast

F C
When you shine you’re a hill top mansion
Dm Bb
So how’d ya lose the light?
F
Was it blown by the wind?
Gm C
In the still of the night
Bb
We’re up against the wall

F C
Up against the wall
Bb C Dm
There’s something dying on the street
F
When they knock you down
Gm C
You’re gonna get back on your feet
Bb
(But you can’t stop now)

F C
I always saw you as a kind of keeper
Dm Bb
Mother to a child
F
But your boys have grown soft
Gm C
And your girls have gone wild

F C
From the blue ridge to the black hills
Dm Bb
To the redwood sky
F
The season may pass
Gm C
But the dream doesn’t die
Bb
Why did you drop the ball?

F C
Up against the wall
Bb C Dm
There’s something dying on the street
F
When they knock you down
Gm C
You’re gonna get back on your feet
Bb
(But you can’t stop now)

F C
Did they break your heart
Bb C Dm
And did they cause your soul to mourn
F
Remember what I said
Gm Bb
Boy you was battle born
Bb
(But you can’t stop now)

Gm B Dm F

You was Battle Born

Gm Bb
When the night falls on the land
Dm F
Are you haunted by the sound?

Gm Bb
It’s gonna take more than a hand
Dm
To turn this thing around
Won’t you lean it on me?
C
Rescue, set me free!

F C
Up against the wall
(Up against the wall)

Did they break your heart

And did they cause your soul to mourn

F C
Come on show your face
Bb C Dm
Come on give us one more spark
F
We’ll sing a song of fire
Gm
Lost we fall into the dark
Bb
(No, you can’t stop now)

F
You never know
C
If you never learn
Bb
You never shine
C
If you never burn
Dm
The rising tide
F
The undertow
Gm
The venom and
The overflow
Bb
You turn away
F
