     ////// / / /// / /


VERSE:
E MajorE         BB A augmentedA   NOTE 1: THIS PART IS PLAYED LIKE THE
Lights out tonight         INTRO. SAME BEAT.
         C# minorC#m BB
Trouble in the heartland
E MajorE           BB A augmentedA
Got a head-on collision
        C# minorC#m  BB
Smashin' in my guts, man
   E MajorE
I'm caught in a cross fire
 A augmentedA      BB   E MajorE
That I don't understand
         A augmentedA        BB
But there's one thing I know for sure girl

VERSE:
E MajorE         BB A augmentedA
I don't give a damn
              C# minorC#m BB
For the same old played out scenes
E MajorE         BB A augmentedA
I don't give a damn
         C# minorC#m BB
For just the in betweens
E MajorE                  A augmentedA
Honey, I want the heart, I want the soul
      BB     E MajorE
I want control right now
      A augmentedA      BB
You better listen to me baby

BREAK:
A augmentedA
Talk about a dream
Try to make it real
   BB
You wake up in the night
With a fear so real
A augmentedA
Spend your life waiting
               BB
For a moment that just don't come
               A augmentedA BB
Well, don't waste your time waiting

CHORUS:
E MajorE       BB  A augmentedA     C# minorC#m BB
Badlands, you gotta live it everyday
     E MajorE
Let the broken hearts stand
BB   A augmentedA         C# minorC#m BB
As the price you've gotta pay
      E MajorE
We'll keep pushin' till it's understood
      A augmentedA        BB     E MajorE  A augmentedA BB
And these badlands start treating us good

VERSE:
Workin' in the fields
Till you get your back burned
Workin' 'neath the wheel
Till you get your facts learned
Baby I got my facts
Learned real good right now
You better get it straight darling
Poor man wanna be rich,
Rich man wanna be king
And a king ain't satisfied
Till he rules everything
I wanna go out tonight,
I wanna find out what I got

BREAK:
Well I believe in the love that you gave me
I believe in the faith that could save me
I believe in the hope
and I pray that some day
It may raise me above these

CHORUS:
Badlands, you gotta live it everyday
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price you've gotta pay
We'll keep pushin' till it's understood
And these badlands start treating us good
