Tom: D D So this is what you meant when you said that you were spent? A Bm And now it's time to build from the bottom of the pit right to the top Don't hold back G D Packing my bags and giving the academy a rain check [Pre-Chorus] A I don't ever want to let you down Bm I don't ever want to leave this town G 'Cause after all This city never sleeps at night [Chorus] D It's time to begin, isn't it? Bm I get a little bit bigger, but then Em I'll admit, I'm just the same as I was G Now don't you understand That I'm never changing who I am? [Instrumental] D A Bm G [Verse] D So this is where you fell, and I am left to sell A the path that heaven runs through miles of clouded hell Bm right to the top Don't look back G D Turning to rags and giving the commodities a rain check [Pre-Chorus] A I don't ever want to let you down Bm I don't ever want to leave this town G 'Cause after all This city never sleeps at night... [Chorus] D It's time to begin, isn't it? Bm I get a little bit bigger, but then Em I'll admit, I'm just the same as I was G Now don't you understand That I'm never changing who I am? D It's time to begin, isn't it? Bm I get a little bit bigger, but then Em I'll admit, I'm just the same as I was G Now don't you understand That I'm never changing who I am? [Bridge] Bm A This road never looked so lonely G This house doesn't burn down slowly Em G A to ashes, to ashes... [Chorus] D It's time to begin, isn't it? A I get a little bit bigger, but then Em I'll admit, I'm just the same as I was G Now don't you understand That I'm never changing who I am? Bm It's time to begin, isn't it? A I get a little bit bigger, but then G I'll admit, I'm just the same as I was G Now don't you understand
