Have you ever seen the lights? 
A   F#m    C#m  
 
I took a shuttle on a shock-wave ride 
Where people on the pen pull the trigger for accolades 
I took a bullet and I looked inside 
Running through my veins an American masquerade 
 
I still remember grandma Dixie's wake 
I've never really known anybody to die before 
Red, white and blue upon a birthday cake 
My brother, he was born on the fourth of the July and that's all 
 
So why do you waste my time? 
Is the answer to the question on your mind
And I'm sick of all my judges 
They're so scared of letting me shine 
But I know that I can make it 
As long as somebody takes me home...  
Every now and then 
Every now and then
        A C#m F#m  C#m   D  D/F#  C#m  E 
You know I see London,I see Sam's Town 
Holds my hand and lets my hair down 
Rolls that world right off my shoulder 
I see Lon don, I see Sam's Town now 
  F#        C#m
