These [D]days won't last [Em]forever
These [D]days won't last for [Em]long
You know,

[D]That's how things really get don[Em]e
[A]In this World of Op[G]portunities,
it's [A]a Land of Poss[G]ibilities

[Verse 3]
[D]We want to liv[G]e in a dir[A]ty old tow[G]n[D]
Building it [G]up, [A]tearing us [G]down

'Cause [A]people who're scared
do [G]dangerous things"
