Bright Lights And Amplifiers Tab par American Opera

Am       G2                         C       F
I walk a long and lonesome road, 
    Am              G2                          C       F
The only things that I have ever known, 
  Am                G2                        C*
Is this old beat-up six string and a blue Ford van, 
       F
And my rock band... 

Am        G2                        C      F
I'm sorry Mama, I had to leave... 
Am                     G2                          C      F
I hope one day you and Dad can forgive me, 
    Am              G2                          C*                                F
For dropping out of school so I could go and play the fool with my best friends... 

Am        G2     C
This life is my own... 
          Am          G2                      C*                F
I throw a dart onto a map and then I make it my home... 
Am         G2    C
This life is my own... 
Am                   G2                      C
And I will dance and sing atop this globe... 


(play like above)
Father forgive me for what I've done...            
I promise you one day light will shine from this son... 
I know it makes you proud when this whole damn crowd sings my songs... 

Mom and Dad, you gave me these hands, 
And taught me how to be a man... 
I pray when I have children I do right by you 
and fill them with God's grace... 

This life is my own... 
I throw a dart onto a map and then I make it my home... 
This life is my own... 
And I will dance and sing atop this globe... 

F2                  Am      G2
I'm not coming home... 
F2                                         Am    G2
Bright lights and amplifiers are all I've ever known..
outro: strum between the C and the G2 chord
