A            Bdim 
When I was a boy, 
A            Bdim 
I dreamt like a man 
  Bm 
I knew something was coming 
    E 
And I should be waiting 

A       Bdim 
I was assured 
A                   Bdim 
The ground wouldn't hold 
          Bm 
All those nights in my bunk bed 
E                 Riff 1 
Learning to float 

D                     Riff 1 
That's how I got here 
D      A           Riff 1 
With a broken nose 
D      A        Bm 
And a skeptic's eye 
    E 
I earned every night 

A             Bdim 
                   Woooooo 
A             Bdim 
                   Woooooo 

A             Bdim  (linger after strumming this chord) 
Up on that hill 
F#              D 
At a sniper's remove 
   Bm 
My lightning & arrows 
   E               Riff 1 
My burden of proof 

D                 Riff 1 
I made my mind up 
D          A           Riff 1 
At least I think I did 
D       A        Bm 
I could never be sure 
          E 
All these voices at war 

F# D E A E 

F# 
I blocked the one road 
D 
Locked every gate closed 
E                  A    E 
I papered over the bridge 
F# 
And then I found out 
D 
My heart's a bloodhound 
E                 E7               Riff 1 
Always searching, always searching 

D                       Riff 1 
That's how you got here 
D          A            Riff 1 
Despite my best design 
D        A       Bm 
I picked up your scent, 
E 
And I let you sneak in. 

A               Bdim             | 
                     Woooooooo   | Repeat four times
