[Verse]

G                             D
You lost faith in the human spirit
Fmaj7                            C
You walk around like a ghost
Cm                          G
Your star-spangled heart
          Am                D
Took a train for the coast

G                                      D
When you shine you're a hilltop mansion
Fmaj7                          C
So how'd you lose the light?
           Cm                G
Was it blown by the wind,
           Am            D
In the still of the night?
C
We're up against the wall

[Chorus]

G
Up against the wall
D - C                                     D - Em
There's something dying on the street

When they knock you down
G - Am                              G - Cadd9
You're gonna get back on your feet
C                             D
(No you can't stop now)

[Verse]

G                                   D
I always saw you as a kind of keeper
Fmaj7             C
A mother to a child
              Cm                        G
But your boys have grown soft
               Am                      D - Dsus2
And your girls have gone wild

G                             D
From the blue ridge to the black hills
Fmaj7                 C
To the redwood sky
       Cm                G
The season may pass
             Am                D
But the dream doesn't die
C
Why did you drop the ball?

CHORUS 

G
Up against the wall
D - C                                     D - Em
There's something dying on the street

When they knock you down
G - Am                             G - Cadd9
You're gonna get back on your feet
C                             D
(No you can't stop now)

G
When they break your heart
D - C                                     D - Em
When they cause your soul to mourn

Remember what I said
G - Am             Cadd9
Boy you was battle born
C                             D
(No, you can't stop now)

[Interlude]

Am Cadd9

                        Em Dsus2
You was battle born...
Am                                      Cadd9
When the night falls on the land,
                                       Em Dsus2
are you haunted by the sound?...
Am                                       Cadd9
It's gonna take more than a hand.
                              Em
to turn this thing around

Won't you lean it on me?
D
Rescue, set me free

[Chorus]

G
Up against the wall
D - C                                      D - Em
There's something dying on the street

When they knock you down
G - Am                            G - Cadd9
You're gonna get back on your feet
C                                   D
('Cause you can't stop now)
G
Did they break your heart?
D - C                                D - Em
Did they cause your soul to mourn

Remember what I said
G - Am             G - Cadd9
Boy you was battle born
C                                   D
('Cause you can't stop now)
G
Come on show your face
D - C                               D - Em
Come on give us one more spark

So we'll start a fire
G - Am                    G - Cadd9
Unless we fall into the dark
C                                D
(And you can't stop now)

G
You never know if you never learn
D - C
You never shine if you never burn
D - Em
The rising tide, the undertow
G - Am
The venom and the overflow
G - Cadd9          C
You turn away, welcome home

G D - C D - Em G - Am Am - Cadd9 C

G D - C D - Em G - Am Am - Cadd9 C G
