I was born
B           A9
But wasn't raised

The big wheel 
The black space

Tried my best 
 B          E
But wasn't praised

Hell is so close to heaven 
Hell is so close to heaven

Hold on don't look back

You know we're better, we're better than that
E           B        C#m
  Lost and thrown away 
          A9
You know we're better, we're better than that

   We are   the strays

The train tracks 
To the stage 
B            A9
Played that role 
B           A9
The one you made 
E
The long nights 
To the worst days 
B         A9
Lived it all 
B             E
But I didn't break 

A9
Hell is so close to heaven 
Hell is so close to heaven

Hold on don't look back

You know we're better, we're better than that

Lost and  thrown away

 You know we're better, we're better than that

  My whole life they said I'd be nothing
But I'm something
I would rather be the stray
         B
Than be nothing to no one at all
