I really do, I really do hope that every one of you has your own Sam's Town.
It's a place that you can go to, I guess, whether [F#] it's a spiritual home or a physical home or a place where things are better there.
For us, that's going to be where we're from and that's where this song came from, I guess.

[A] [F#m]
[C#m]
[A] Nobody ever [F#m] had a dream [A] around here, but I [F#m] don't really mind [C#] that it started [F#m] to get to me.
Nobody ever pulls the seams around here, but I don't really mind that [C#] it's starting [F#m] to get to [E] me.
I've got [F#m] this energy [Bm] beneath my [A] feet [D] like something [C#m] underground's gonna come up and [D] carry me.
[E] [F#m] I've got this sentimental [Bm] heart [A] that beats, but [D] I don't [C#m] really mind that it's starting [C#] to get to [E] me now.
[C#] So why do you waste my [F#m] time [C#m] is the answer to [D] the question [E] on [A] your mind.
[C#m] [F#m] And I'm sick of all my [C#] judges, [Bm] they're so scared [E] of what [C#] they'll find.
But [F#m] I know that I [C#m] can make it as long as [E] somebody takes [A] me home every [Bm] now and then.
[A]
[D] [G#] But have [A] you ever seen the [F#m] lights?
I've [C#m] seen them.
Have [A] you ever seen the [F#m] lights?
[C#m]
[A] I [C#] took a shuttle [F#m] on a [C#m] shockwave ride [A] where people [F#m] on the 10-fold were [C#] triggered for [A] adultery.
[C#] Took a bullet [F#m] and I looked [C#m]
inside [A] and running [F#m] through my veins an American [E] masquerade.
I still [F#m] remember [Bm] Camargue's [A] sea sway.
[D] I'd never [C#m] really known anybody to die [E] before.
Red, white [F#m] and blue upon [Bm] a birthday [A] cake.
My brother, [E] he was [C#m] born on the 4th [D] of July [E] and I saw.
[C#] So why do you waste my [F#m] time is the [A] answer [D] to the question [E] on your [A] mind.
[C#m] And [F#m] I'm sick of all [C#] my judges, they're so [E] scared of letting [C#] me shine.
But I [F#m] know that [C#m] I can make it as long as [E] somebody takes [A] me home [E] [F#m]
every [F#] now [Bm] and then.
[C#m]
Every now and [D] then.

[A] I see [F#m] you, God.
[D] I [E] see stars now.
[F#m] Now [A]
