  			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. 


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


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

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


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