Verse
[D]So this is what you meant

bottom of the pit right to the [Bm]top,
Do[Bm]Don't hold back
[G]Packing my bags and giving the academy a rain check

I don't ever want to leave this town [Bm]
'Cause after [G]all
[G]This city never sleeps at night...
Chorus
[D]It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit b[Bm]bigger, but then,
I'll admit, I'm just the same as I [Em]was
Now don't you und[G]understand
That I'm never changing who I am?
