E
A    D    F#m   E   D
A    D    F#m   E



🎸 Verse 1:
 D                   A         D          F#m       E
Fourth place anthem playing tonight, on a broken radio
    D                     A                D   F#m             E
I thought we reached the mountaintop, but now, we just feel so low
    D                A             D              F#m                 E
The sky is breaking open, we keep hoping, in the distance we'll see a glow
 D                    A             D             F#m         E
Lightning, light our way 'til the black sky turns back to indigo


🎸 Chorus:
A                       D                F#m
  We can make it if you  don't quit on me
                    E
I won't quit on you

Don't quit on me

We can make it, baby
  D
Please don't quit on me
A                     D
  I won't quit on you
                F#m
Don't quit on me
                  E   D
I never quit on you

🎸 Verse 2:
A                  D       F#m                    E
  We were born in paradise,    beneath a poisoned sky
A           D              F#m            E
  Under a bad sign, the micro-age of Gemini
    D                 A                 D             F#m                 E
And we are still unlearning, tir s are burning in the middle of Rod o Drive
                          A             D          F#m              E
You know that we've been beat down and broken, but now we can testify

🎸 Chorus:
A                       D                F#m
  We can make it if you  don't quit on me
E
I won't quit on you

Don't quit on me

We can make it, baby
  D
Please don't quit on me
A                     D
  I won't quit on you
                F#m
Don't quit on me
                  E
I never quit on you

🎸 Outro:
         D       A
It's not up to you
          D            F#m            E
Some you win, some you lose (When the lightning comes)
           D        A
You don't get to choose
          D             F#m            E
Some you win, some you lose (When the lightning comes)
