E           Ebm    Dbm    A 
Even though people follow gold
                B             E        Esus   E
doesn't mean it shines in the dark 
E            Ebm  Dbm        A
If we all do just what we're told 
                B                       Bsus B
It doesn't mean you'll find the spark.
A                               E       Esus   E
Friends can turn when things go wrong 
   Ebm                          Dbm        B
It doesn't mean that it's their fault
E         Ebm               A 
We've all come here to help ourselves 
        B                 E         Esus   E 
All the goods laid in the vault 

            A    E
Some people open doors 
       A                 B        Bsus   B
Others tear their houses down 
E    Ab            Dbm     B
Some kids are prepared for wars
F#                       B       Bsus  B
Others frightened of the crowd
                  A     E       Esus  E
Some streets come to an end
       A        E       B       Bsus  B 
Others wind and know no bounds 
E            Ebm    Dbm  A 
And I'm just tryin' to   pretend
                       B     E         Esus   E
I know how to tread on solid ground.

A             E               Esus  E
Solid ground, solid ground, 
A             E               Esus  E
Solid ground, solid ground,  
Ebm   Dbm     B     E         Esus  E
Solid ground, solid ground. 

E           Ebm    Dbm    A 
Even though people follow orders 
                 B             E        Esus   E
Doesn't mean it comes from the heart 
E          Ebm  Dbm     A
Surrounded by a million borders
          B                       Bsus B
Till it's time for us to part
A                        E       Esus   E
Moon can make the coming seas 
               Ebm    Dbm        B
Threaten every man on board 
E       Ebm       Dbm      A  
We find ourselves upon our knees
                      B            E        Esus  E
We have nothing but a shield and a sword

            A           E
Some people break their bones
       A                B       Bsus  B
Others break their self esteem 
E    Ab              Dbm   B
Some dogs stray from their homes 
F#                                B
Some people never wake from their dreams.
                  A     E       Esus  E
Some streets come to an end
       A        E       B       Bsus  B 
Others wind and know no bounds 
E            Ebm    Dbm  A 
And I'm just tryin' to   pretend
                       B     E         Esus   E
I know how to tread on solid ground.

A             E               Esus  E
Solid ground, solid ground, 
A             E               Esus  E
Solid ground, solid ground,  
Ebm   Dbm     B     E         Esus  E
Solid ground, solid ground. 

A             E               Esus  E
Solid ground, solid ground, 
Ebm   Dbm     B     E         Esus  E
Solid ground, solid ground.  
Ebm   Dbm     B     E       
Solid ground
