Verse:
G D
You lost faith in the human spirit
F C
You walk around like a ghost
C G
Your star-spangled heart
Am D
Took a train for the coast
G D
When you shine you're a hilltop mansion
F C
So how'd you lose the light?
C G
Was it blown by the wind,
Am D
In the still of the night?
C
We're up against the wall
G D C D Em G Am Am Cmaj9 C D
Up against the wall
There's something dying on the street
When they knock you down
You're gonna get back on your feet
(No you can't stop now)
Verse:
G D
I always saw you as a kind of keeper
F C
A mother to a child
C G
But your boys have grown soft
Am D Dsus2
And your girls have gone wild
G D
From the blue ridge to the black hills
F C
To the redwood sky
C G
The season may pass
Am D
But the dream doesn't die
C
Why did you drop the ball?
G D C D Em G Am Am Cmaj9 C D
Up against the wall
There's something dying on the street
When they knock you down
You're gonna get back on your feet
(No you can't stop now)
G D C D Em G Am Am Cmaj9 C D
When they break your heart
When they cause your soul to mourn
Remember what I said
Boy you was battle born
(No, you can't stop now)

Up against the wall (Up against the wall)
There's something dying on the street
When they knock you down (Up against the wall)
You're gonna get back on your feet
Cause you can't stop now (Cause you can't stop now)
G D C D Em G Am Am Cmaj9 C D
Did they break your heart? (Did they break your heart?)
Did they cause your soul to mourn? (Cause your soul to mourn?)
Remember what I said (Remember what I said)
Boy you was battle born (You were battle born)
Cause you can't stop now (Cause you can't stop now)
G D C D Em G Am Am Cmaj9 C D
Come on show your face (Come on show your face)
Come on give us one more spark (Give us one more spark)
So we'll start a fire (So we'll start a fire)
Unless we fall into the dark (fall into the dark)
And you can't stop now (No, you can't stop now)
G D C D Em G Am Am Cmaj9 C D G
You never know
If you never learn
You never shine
If you never burn
The rising tide
The undertow
The venom and
The overflow
You turn away
