[Verse 1]

    Em
The future's under fire
    Cadd9
The past is gaining ground
     D
A continuous cold war between
   G               C
My home and my hometown
      Em
I was destined to die dreaming
     Cadd9
When one day, my best friend
     D
With passion and pure provocation
G               C
Summoned me and said
     Em
"You can't condemn your love
   Cadd9
To linger here and die
      D
Can't leave your dreams to chance
        G             C
Or to a spirit in the sky
         Em
May your heart always be ardent
     Cadd9
Your conscience always clear
    D
And succumb to the city and surrender, baby
G               C
I'll be waiting here"

        [Chorus 1]

                          G              D
        And it got me all fired up to go far away
            Cadd9
        And make some ears ring from the sound of my singing, baby
         Em     D
        (Oh oh, oh oh)
                          G              D
        And it got me all fired up to go far away
            Cadd9
        And make some ears ring from the sound of my singing, baby
         Em     D
        (Oh oh, oh oh)
        Em           D    Cadd9
        So I left my home
        Em        D   Cadd9
        And all I had
        Em           D        Cadd9   G
        I used to be good but now I'm bad

[Verse 2]

       Em
It was last call at my local
      Cadd9
And I stalled saying goodbye
       D
So the girl behind the bar came over
    G            C
And she took me aside
    Em
She kissed me like a chorus, said
 Cadd9
“Give 'em hell for us
         D
The last drink of the night, last night in town
      G                  C
Baby, this one is on the house”

        [Chorus 2]

                          G              D
        And it got me all fired up to go far away
            Cadd9
        And make some ears ring from the sound of my singing, baby
         Em     D
        (Oh oh, oh oh)
                          G              D
        And it got me all fired up to go far away
            Cadd9
        And make some ears ring from the sound of my singing, baby
         Em     D
        (Oh oh, oh oh)
        Em           D    Cadd9
        So I left my home
        Em        D   Cadd9
        And all I had
        Em           D        Cadd9   G
        I used to be good but now I'm bad

[Verse 3]

       Em
It was bedlam in my bed that night
    Cadd9
And like a silent scream
   D
My body broke out in a sweat
     G             C
From seeing you in dreams
Em
You called out to me
Cadd9
I sang back to you
    D
And all I remember was the sound of it being
     G
Like all hell breaking loose

        [Chorus 3]

                          G              D
        And it got me all fired up to go far away
            Cadd9
        And make some ears ring from the sound of my singing, baby
         Em     D
        (Oh oh, oh oh)
                          G              D
        And it got me all fired up to go far away
            Cadd9
        And make some ears ring from the sound of my singing, baby
         Em     D
        (Oh oh, oh oh)
        Em           D    Cadd9
        So I left my home
        Em        D   Cadd9
        And all I had
        Em           D        Cadd9   G
        I used to be good but now I'm bad
