Strum
D-DU-UDU
Growin'  up, you  don't see the writing  on the wall
Passin'  by, movin'  straight ahead,  you knew it all
 But maybe sometime  if you feel  the pain
 You'll find you're all  alone, everything  has changed
 Play the game, you know you can't quit until it's won *
 Soldier on, only you can do what must be done *
 You know in some way you're a lot like me
 You're just a prisoner and you're tryin' to break free
I  can see a new horizon underneath  the blazin'  sky
I'll  be where the eagle's flying higher  and higher
Gonna  be your man in motion,  all I need is a pair of wheels
Take  me where my future's lyin', St.  Elmo's Fire
 Burning up, don't know just how far that I can go (just how far I go)
 Soon be home, only just a few miles down the road
 I can make it, I know I can
 You broke the boy in me, but you won't break the man
 I can see a new horizon underneath the blazin’ sky
 I’ll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher
 Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels
 Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's Fire
 I can climb the highest mountain, cross the wildest sea
 I can feel St. Elmo's Fire burnin' in me, burnin' in me
 (Play verse (not a 100% sure here) during “solo”)
Just  once in his  life a man has his time, and my time is now,
I'm  coming alive
 x2
 I can hear the music playin', I can see the banners fly
 Feel like you're back again, and hope ridin' high
 Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels
 Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's Fire
 (On second time round)
 I can climb the highest mountain, cross the wildest sea
 I can feel St. Elmo's Fire burnin' in me
 Burnin', burnin' in me, I can feel it burnin'
 Oooh, burnin' inside of me...
