D
So this is what you meant when you said that you were spent?
A                                                                    Bm
  And now it's time to build from the bottom of the pit right to the top
   
Don't hold back
G                                              D
  Packing my bags and giving the academy a rain check

[Pre-Chorus]
                                   A
I don't ever want to let you down
                                 Bm
I don't ever want to leave this town
             G
'Cause after all

This city never sleeps at night

[Chorus]
     D  
It's time to begin, isn't it?
                   Bm
I get a little bit bigger, but then
                                   Em
I'll admit, I'm just the same as I was
                   G
Now don't you understand

That I'm never changing who I am?

[Instrumental]
D A Bm G

[Verse]
   D
So this is where you fell, and I am left to sell
A            
  the path that heaven runs through miles of clouded hell 
             Bm
right to the top

Don't look back
G                                                  D
  Turning to rags and giving the commodities a rain check

[Pre-Chorus]
                                  A
I don't ever want to let you down
                                 Bm
I don't ever want to leave this town
              G
'Cause after all

This city never sleeps at night...

[Chorus]
     D
It's time to begin, isn't it?
                   Bm
I get a little bit bigger, but then
                                   Em
I'll admit, I'm just the same as I was
                   G
Now don't you understand

That I'm never changing who I am?
     D
It's time to begin, isn't it?
                   Bm
I get a little bit bigger, but then 
                                   Em
I'll admit, I'm just the same as I was
                   G
Now don't you understand

That I'm never changing who I am?

[Bridge]
Bm                            A
    This road never looked so lonely
                              G
This house doesn't burn down slowly
   Em        G         A
to ashes, to ashes...

[Chorus]
     D                        
It's time to begin, isn't it?
                    A
I get a little bit bigger, but then 
                                   Em
I'll admit, I'm just the same as I was
                   G
Now don't you understand
 
That I'm never changing who I am?
     Bm
It's time to begin, isn't it?
                   A
I get a little bit bigger, but then 
                                   G
I'll admit, I'm just the same as I was
                   G
Now don't you understand
