Verso 1:

F#                     C#
You lost faith in the human spirit
E                      B
You walk around like a ghost
Bm                  F#
Your star-spangled heart
G#m                   C#
Took a train for the coast

F#                       C#
When you shine you're a hilltop mansion
E                     B
So how'd you lose the light?
Bm                   F#
Was it blown by the wind,
G#m                  C#
In the still of the night?
B
We're up against the wall

Refrão

F#                   C#   B
Up against the wall
                           C#   Ebm
There's something dying on  the street
                          F#   G#m
When they knock you down
                         G#m   Bmaj9
You're gonna get back on  your feet
B                       C#
(No you can't stop now)

Verso 2:


F#                     C#
I always saw you as a kind of keeper
E             B
A mother to a child
Bm                        F#
But your boys have grown soft
G#m                       C#    C#sus2
And your girls have gone wild

F#                   C#
From the blue ridge to the black hills
E              B
To the redwood sky
Bm              F#
The season may pass
G#m                    C#    C#sus2
But the dream doesn't die
B
Why did you drop the ball?

Refrão:

F#                   C#   B
Up against the wall
                           C#   Ebm
There's something dying on  the street
                          F#   G#m
When they knock you down
                         G#m   Bmaj9
You're gonna get back on  your feet
B                       C#
(No you can't stop now)
F#                         C#  B
When they break your heart
                          C#  Ebm
When they cause your soul to mourn
                      F#  G#m
Remember what I said
               G#m Bmaj9
Boy you was battle born
B                       C#
(No, you can't stop now)

Up against the wall
                           C#   Ebm

You never know
                    C#  B
If you never learn

You never shine
                   C# Ebm
If you never burn

The rising tide
              F#  G#m
The undertow

The venom and
              G#m   Bmaj9
The overflow

You turn away
             C#   F#
