With the [Am]drum [Em]beat[Am]ing till
[D]the[E] br[Am]eak of day

[Verse 5]
You can [Am]have it,

[D]Where

[Verse 6]
[E]the peo[Am]ple are real, where
[Em]people can [Am]feel
Got to go down, got to go down
Leave [Em]here [Am]today on my way so long,
so long
Going back [Dm]home, go[D]ing [G]back [Am]home
Got to go home, got to go home
Got to go home, got to go home
Where I, where I was [D]born

[Verse 7]
[E]First I planned to stay but
I can't live [D]this way
