C#               G#
Hometown remind me
C#             G#
Where I come from
C#          G#                  D#
Before the days of the hit and run
C#                G#
Running from the blue lights
C#                 G#
Jumping trains at midnight
C#           G#             D#
Never more alone or move alive
C#                 G#
Hat tricks in the stadium
C#             G#
Baby look how far we've come
C#             G#                D#
Casualties are littered all the way

Chorus:
     C#                      G#
Cause we've got miles left to go
       C#                 G#
To a place that we don't know
      C#                     G#               D#
They told me the ground was gold But I can't see it
          C#               G#
One last time through the woods
   C#             G#
In my old neighborhood
    C#              G#              D#
It tastes so bittersweet I can't believe it

Hands in the cement
Stickers on the ceiling
Falling asleep to the werewolves
Pop the clutch on the v-dub
Throwing pebbles at your window
As we roll away in the pouring rain
Call at you all the tower lights
Singing out in the holy night
Lord tell me you're not done with me

Chorus

C#      G#          C#    G#
Innocence, yeah it dies slowly
C#         G#    Fm      A#m  D#
We're all falling in the Glory
Fm      C#         Fm     C#
Innocence, yeah it dies slowly
Fm         C#      D#
We're all falling down

Hometown remind me
Where I come from
Before the days of the hit and run
The moss and the pine trees
I can taste the caffeine
How the fiery blaze when you look at me
