shut off the bright lights and come back to earth 
C 
you had a good time for all that it's worth

(find a mountain and we're beating it flat) 
                             so why don't we stay ? 
 
G 
(we've got nothing if we don't have that) 
 
              C                                                 G 
                (catch the victory that slips through the crack) 
cos out there everyone's                         got a price to pay 
 
G                                                    Am 
(we've got nothing if we don't have that) 
                                 and it could be our finest hour 
 
  here you can hear the riff shane is playing over the verses on it's own 
  simplified it's as below - you can add the interchanging E (2) on the  
  D string if you like :)  
 
G ----0---0----0---0----0---0----0---0-- 
D ------4--------4--------4--------4---- 
A --------------------3--------3-------- 
E --0--------3-------------------------- 
 
Em                 G

C 
i'm so alive i'm scared to death 
Em                 G 
it might be raging war outside 
    C 
but i'm always ready for one more ride 
    Em         G                      C 
and you shot a spark from a catherine wheel 
 
         Am        
and i... feel 
             Am  
it's nice to be
