D
This is an anthem for the homesick, for the beaten,
Em F#m
the lost, the broke, the defeated.
Bm Em Bm
A song for the heartsick, for the standbys,
Em F#
Living life in the shadow of goodbye.
A D
Do you remember when we learned how to fly?
A F#m
We'd play make-believe; we were young and had time on our side.
D
You're stuck on the ground,
Dm D
Got lost, can't be found.
G A
Just remember that you're still alive.
--
D
I'll carry you home.
A
No, you're not alone.
D
Keep marching on,
This is worth fighting for,
G
You know we've all got battle scars.
D
You've had enough,
A
But just don't give up.
D
Stick to your guns,
You are worth fighting for.
G
You know we've all got battle scars.
D
Keep marching on.
--
This is a call to the soldiers, the fighters,
A
the young, the innocent, and righteous.
D
We've got a little room to grow.
F# Bm
Better days are near,
G A
Hope is so much stronger than fear.
D
So if you jump, kid, don't be scared to fall.
Db F# G
We'll be kings and queens in this dream, all for one, one for all.
Bm
You can light up the dark,
G
There's a fire in your heart,
A
Burner brighter than ever before.
--
D
I'll carry you home.
A
No, you're not alone.
D
Keep marching on,
This is worth fighting for,
G
You know we've all got battle scars.
D
You've had enough,
A
But just don't give up.
D
Stick to your guns,
You are worth fighting for.
G
You know we've all got battle scars.
D
Keep marching on.
--
On and on, like we're living on a broken record.
D
Hope is strong, but misery's a little quicker.
Bm
Sit, and we wait, and we drown there,
D
Thinking, "Why bother play when it's unfair?"
G
They say life's a waste, I say they lack belief.
A
They tell me luck will travel, I tell 'em that's why I've got feet.
Bm
Left, right, left, right,
B Bm
Moving along to the pulse of a heartbeat.
G
This could be the last chance you have to fly.
A
Do you like the ground? Want it to pass you by?
Bm
Man, you had it all when you were just kid.
D
Do you even remember who you were back then?
G
What do you want in life? Will you be twice as strong?
A
What would you sacrifice? What are you waiting on?
Bm
Don't stop, march on.
--
D
I'll carry you home.
A
No, you're not alone.
D
Keep marching on,
This is worth fighting for,
G
You know we've all got battle scars.
D
You've had enough,
A
But just don't give up.

Stick to your guns,
You are worth fighting for.

You know we've all got battle scars.

Keep marching on.
