D
This is an anthem for the homesick, for the beaten,

                      Em   F#m
the lost, the broke, the defeated.

                Bm                   Em    Bm
A song for the heartsick, for the standbys,

Em                                         F#
Living life in the shadow of goodbye.

A           D
Do you remember when we learned how to fly?

                 A                             F#m
We'd play make-believe; we were young and had time on our side.

D
You're stuck on the ground,

      Dm            D
Got lost, can't be found.

       G                          A
Just remember that you're still alive.

                D
I'll carry you home.

                 A
No, you're not alone.

               D
Keep marching on,

This is worth fighting for,

                   G
You know we've all got battle scars.

           D
You've had enough,

                A
But just don't give up.

               D
Stick to your guns,

You are worth fighting for.
                   G
You know we've all got battle scars.

Keep marching on.

This is a call to the soldiers, the fighters,

                A
the young, the innocent, and righteous.

                            D
We've got a little room to grow.

        F#                  Bm
Better days are near,

G                        A
Hope is so much stronger than fear.

D
So if you jump, kid, don't be scared to fall.

                    Db                    F#          G
We'll be kings and queens in this dream, all for one, one for all.

                     Bm
You can light up the dark,

                       G
There's a fire in your heart,

                             A
Burner brighter than ever before.

On and on, like we're living on a broken record.

        D
Hope is strong, but misery's a little quicker.

            Bm
Sit, and we wait, and we drown there,

                                      D
Thinking, "Why bother play when it's unfair?"

         G
They say life's a waste, I say they lack belief.

             A
They tell me luck will travel, I tell 'em that's why I've got feet.

Bm
Left, right, left, right,

B                   Bm
Moving along to the pulse of a heartbeat.

G
This could be the last chance you have to fly.

A
Do you like the ground? Want it to pass you by?

Bm
Man, you had it all when you were just kid.

D
Do you even remember who you were back then?

G
What do you want in life? Will you be twice as strong?

A
What would you sacrifice? What are you waiting on?

      Bm
Don't stop, march on.
