Strum
D-DU-UDU
 We were the magnificent dreamers.
 In secret lamplight hideouts.
 We swore the world couldn't break us,
 Even when the world took us down.
 So here  I am struggling out in  the mighty jungle,
 Moving eighteen  miles a minute, not slowing  down for nothing.
 I look  to my left and I look  to my right,
 And I'm callin'  out for my brothers
 But it's so  dark in this night, am I alone?
 Did they fall down by the wayside?
 Was I moving too blind to see them?
 Were they calling out to me?
 Or did Despair set in?
 Were the things  that we wanted when we  were still sixteen,
 Only passing  and fleeting, or just too  far out of reach?
 Were you hard  up or broken man, I woulda  helped you out...
 Were you numb  and distracted when I  was calling out?
I  was calling out...
 On a Sunday  morning the whole  crowd assembled,
I've  done some things that I'm not too proud of...
I've  never left you, a deaf  ear for longing.
Some  hearts are gallows, I'm not here for hangin' around.
 It's all right, man.
 I'm only bleeding, man.
Stay  hungry, stay free,
And  do the best you can.

[Em]   We were the magnificent dreamers.
[Em]   In secret lamplight hideouts.
[Em]   We swore the world couldn't break us,
[Em]   Even when the world took us down.

So [Em]here I am struggling out i[C]n the mighty jungle,
Moving [G]eighteen miles a minute, not [D]slowing down for nothing.
I [Em]look to my left and I [C]look to my right,
And I'm [G]callin' out for my brothers
But it's [D]so dark in this night, am I alone?

[Em]   Did they fall down by the wayside?
[Em]   Was I moving too blind to see them?
[Em]   Were they calling out to me?
[Em]   Or did Despair set in?

Were the t[Em]hings that we wanted when [C]we were still sixteen,
Only [G]passing and fleeting, or just [D]too far out of reach?
Were you [Em]hard up or broken man, I [C]woulda helped you out...
Were you [G]numb and distracted when [D]I was calling out?
[D]I was calling out...

On a [G]Sunday morning the [D]whole crowd assembled,
[Em]I've done some things that I'm not too proud of...
[G]I've never left you, a [D]deaf ear for longing.
[C]Some hearts are gallows, I'm not here for hangin' ar[G]ound.

[G] It's all right, man.
[D] I'm only bleeding, man.
[Em]Stay hungry, stay free,
[Em]And do the best you can.
