Amadd9
Is it wrong to rock the booze
Amadd9
We gotta strike a match and light the fuse

Now I'm never looking back

It's time to leave the future with the past
[Pre-Chorus]

I said it doesn't matter where I go
Em Am
I am calling all the poets in the battle

I am shouting to the world
Em
Let them know that we won't

Be afraid to step into the fight when you can't see the light
[Chorus]

So, close your eyes

We're gonna run this light

Amadd9
But if you're down I'm a soldier up
Amadd9
You better learn to shoot or learn to duck
Amadd9
There's no retreat and no escape
Amadd9
If we can dream then why are we wide awake?
[Pre-chorus]

I said it doesn't matter where I go

I am never going to change who I am
Em Am G
I won't bend under the pressure when my back's on the ropes
C
I said it doesn't matter where I go
Em Am
I am staring down the barrel of a gun
G C
We are shouting to the world
Em
Let them know that we are
N.C.
Not afraid to step into the fight when we can't see the light
[Chorus]

So, close your eyes

We're gonna run this light
C D Em
We live our lives

Mostly it's another fight

- Dm
When it's slowly coming after you
[Chorus]

So, close your eyes

We're gonna run this light

We live our lives
