🎸 Verse 1:
E7                  A         D
Fourth place anthem playing tonight
     F#m        E
On a broken radio
E7                     A
Thought we reached the mountain top
    D   F#m             E
But now we just feel so low
     E7             A             D
The sky is breaking open, we keep hoping
       F#m                   E
In the distance, we'll see a glow
E7                  A
Lightning light our way
        D          F#m               E    E    E  E7
Til the black sky, turns back to indigo

🎸 Chorus:
A                     D
 We can make it if you don’t quit on me
F#m                  E
 I won't quit on you, don't quit on me
E                      E7
 We can make it, baby, please, don't quit on me
A                    D
 I won't quit on you, don't quit on me
F#m                 E    E7
 I'll never quit on you


🎸 Verse 2:
A                D
 We were born in paradise
F#m                  E    E7
 Beneath a poisoned sky
A        D
 Under a bad sign
          F#m        E
The micro-age of Gemini
    E7             A
And we are still unlearning
          D              F#m             E
Tirеs are burning in the middle of Rodеo Drive
E7                   A               D
Know that we’ve been beaten down and broken
    F#m               E    E    E  E7
But now we could testify


🎸 Chorus:
A                     D
 We can make it if you don’t quit on me
F#m                  E
 I won't quit on you, don't quit on me
E                      E7
 We can make it, baby, please, don't quit on me
A                    D
 I won't quit on you, don't quit on me
F#m                 E
 I'll never quit on you


🎸 Outro:
E         E7    A
 It’s not up to you
         D             F#m            E         E
Some you win, some you lose (When the lightning comes)
          E7     A
You don’t get to choose
       D           F#m            E         E
So you win, so you lose (When the lightning comes)
