The glory of what we did
It started when we were kids
With music up in our heads

The glory of what we did

With music up in our heads
She said

(Chorus)
Bridge
(look up a tab for this part)
When it comes to the beat
Seeing that the heads are moving
Move off your seat
Achievement is what we're really doing
Freedom of speech
I'm in it just to win it
I'm springin' and I can see it
In the end that you can be it
'Cause it's patience, it's statements
Famous greatness
Movin' 'til you make it through
And maybe you can make it too
(no guitar)
Livin on a high wire
Can't shake me I'm not goin nowhere
A minorAm C majorC G+G
Walking a tight rope no net high hopes

Step back I'm gonna make it over
