Been a million to one
                       G2/C G2
This is takin' forever

Always seems to return that
    C
I'm slow

C         D7             G
All hands up, salute the Empire State

Faith be true, you know the way
C        D7               G
Ten feet tall in this: an empty space
Am
Fallen walls all around
Am            G
Destroyed again
Am            G
Destroyed again

Something's coming this way
