Lights out tonight INTRO. SAME BEAT.
C#m B
Trouble in the heartland
E B A
Got a head-on collision
C#m B
Smashin' in my guts, man

I'm caught in a cross fire
A B E
That I don't understand
A B
But there's one thing I know for sure girl

I don't give a damn
C#m B
For the same old played out scenes

I don't give a damn
C#m B
For just the in betweens

Honey, I want the heart, I want the soul
B E
I want control right now
A B
You better listen to me baby
BREAK:
A
Talk about a dream
Try to make it real
B
You wake up in the night
With a fear so real
A
Spend your life waiting
B
For a moment that just don't come
A B
Well, don't waste your time waiting
CHORUS:
E B A C#m B
Badlands, you gotta live it everyday
E
Let the broken hearts stand
B A C#m B
As the price you've gotta pay
E
We'll keep pushin' till it's understood
A B E A B
And these badlands start treating us good

VERSE:
Workin' in the fields
Till you get your back burned
Workin' `neath the wheel
Till you get your facts learned
Baby I got my facts
Learned real good right now
You better get it straight darling
Poor man wanna be rich,
Rich man wanna be king
And a king ain't satisfied
Till he rules everything
I wanna go out tonight,
I wanna find out what I got
BREAK:
Well I believe in the love that you gave me
I believe in the faith that could save me
I believe in the hope
and I pray that some day
It may raise me above these
CHORUS:
Badlands, you gotta live it everyday
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price you've gotta pay
We'll keep pushin' till it's understood
And these badlands start treating us good

Mmmmmmmm, Mmmmm, Mmmmmm -- 4x's

For the ones who had a notion,

A notion deep inside
E
That it ain't no sin

I wanna find one place,
A B E
I wanna spit in the face of these badlands
