Verse:
GYou lost faith in the Dhuman spirit
FYou walk around like a Cghost
CYour star-spangled Gheart
AmTook a train for the Dcoast
GWhen you shine you're a Dhilltop mansion
FSo how'd you lose the Clight?
CWas it blown by the Gwind,
AmIn the still of the Dnight?
CWe're up against the wall
Chorus: (Listen for timing)
G D C D Em G Am Am Cmaj9 C D
Up against the wall
There's something dying on the street
When they knock you down
You're gonna get back on your feet
(No you can't stop now)
Verse:
GI always saw you as a Dkind of keeper
FA mother to a Cchild
CBut your boys have grown Gsoft
AmAnd your girls have gone Dwild Dsus2
GFrom the blue ridge Dto the black hills
FTo the redwood Csky
CThe season may Gpass
AmBut the dream doesn't Ddie
CWhy did you drop the ball?
Chorus: (Listen for timing)
G D C D Em G Am Am Cmaj9 C D
Up against the wall
There's something dying on the street
When they knock you down
You're gonna get back on your feet
(No you can't stop now)
G D C D Em G Am Am Cmaj9 C D
When they break your heart
When they cause your soul to mourn
Remember what I said
Boy you was battle born
(No, you can't stop now)

Chorus: (Listen for timing)
G D C D Em G Am Am Cmaj9 C D
Up against the wall (Up against the wall)
There's something dying on the street
When they knock you down (Up against the wall)
You're gonna get back on your feet
Cause you can't stop now (Cause you can't stop now)
G D C D Em G Am Am Cmaj9 C D
Did they break your heart? (Did they break your heart?)
Did they cause your soul to mourn? (Cause your soul to mourn?)
Remember what I said (Remember what I said)
Boy you was battle born (You were battle born)
Cause you can't stop now (Cause you can't stop now)
G D C D Em G Am Am Cmaj9 C D
Come on show your face (Come on show your face)
Come on give us one more spark (Give us one more spark)
So we'll start a fire (So we'll start a fire)
Unless we fall into the dark (fall into the dark)
And you can't stop now (No, you can't stop now)
G D C D Em G Am Am Cmaj9 C D G
You never know
If you never learn
You never shine
If you never burn
The rising tide
The undertow
The venom and
The overflow
You turn away
