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.
