[Verse 1]
    A        EIf life was simple
B                     A      E   B  F#mEvery day like Sunday afternoon
         A     EThere'd be no reason
    B                         A      E   B  F#mTo wake up, fight back, be a better you


[Pre-Chorus 1]
      A            ECome dance by the fire
             B'Til you're feeling higher
           A         EThan the State of Empire
          B        F#mLet that New York feeling
           EKill your pain into your ears
          F#mLet the rhythm dry your tears
        BAs the world stops

 A              E              BWalking to the light all of a sudden

[Pre-Chorus 2]
      A             ECome let down your hair
