D#                A#
If I were in the desert, spring into the fall
D#             A#
Rush into the westside,
when the east sent out the call
D#               A#
Lessons in the matter, of staying on your feet
D#                               A#
You can fall under the weight of it,
and it brings you to your knees

G#     D# 
I am never giving up
A#
I am, I am, I am
   G#            D# 
I am holding on for a feeling

Chorus:
D#                                  Cm
I don't need no one to hold my place
      G#
Can’t take my thoughts,
                              D#
they're not your thoughts to take away
                                     Cm
I don't need no one to tease my fate
         G#
I don’t need no one to celebrate
      D#
Cause all my friends, all my friends are here
Cm                                      G#
All my friends, all my friends are here
D#
All my friends, all my friends are here
     Cm                                      G#
Hey, all my friends, all my friends are here

          D# A# D# A#
Sing it now

Devil in the blue sky
Angel in the deep
Writing out your best lines
And forgetting how to read it
Counting in the wrong time
Starting on the three
There's a rhythm to the way life goes
It can knock you out of key

I am starting to believe
I am, I am, I am, I am
Holding on for the real thing
I don't need no one to hold my place
Can't take my thoughts
They're not your thoughts to take away
I don't need no one to tease my faith
I don't need no one to celebrate

Chorus:
’Cause all my friends, all my friends are here
(Woah-ooh)
All my friends, all my friends are here (Woah)
All my friends, all my friends are here (Woah-ooh)
Hey, all my friends, all my friends are here (Woah)
So singing it out
