 There's been a run of fires downtown

 On half built construction sites

 I've seen you climb a crane at night
G+G
 If they ever catch you at it
Cadd9Cadd9
 I know you'd want me to be proud
G+G
 That you took a rich man's dream
D MajorD
 And brought it with you on your way down

 Not everybody gets the chance to live

 A augmentedA life that isn't dangerous
