(Chorus/Intro)
CNot without a purpose and it's not without a fiFght
I've goCt three tales to tell you so please sit tigGht
C Am F
It's the story of three Cunderdogs who've grown to see their light
CNot without a purposeG, not without Fa fight G  C  
(Verse)
C5.................................... G5........................
Been away for far too long, you're on my mind
.............. A5.............. C5.......... F5............
Got your picture and I stare at it all the time
C5.............................. G5..................
Minutes turn to hours, hours into days
........... A5.................. C5........... F5............
And as each one passes by it feels all the same
(Pre-chorus)
G5But the lights they go dark, Man In BlacG5k on the P.A.
G5 (Power slide)
Walk up the stairs as one again to decimate the stage
(Chorus)
C5Not without a purpose and it's not without a fF5ight
Our spiC5rit lives forever blinded by the city lG5ights
C5 A5 F5
If we keep C5our act together we might make another night
C5Not without a purposeG5, not withF5out a fightG5  C5  
(Verse)
C5........................................... G5.............
Hey, I was always just another average kid
.............. A5....... C5................... F5  
Looking up to the Pistols, idolizing Sid
C5.......................................... G5.............
I guess my parents never really felt the same
A5....................... C5............................. F5  
Spikes and leather jackets hurt my family name
(Pre-Chorus)
G5Now I'm on the streets, now I've bG5een locked out
G5 (Power slide)
Friends and punk rock music were the only way out
(Verse)
C5................................. G5.....................
I started as a firm believer, now I own my doubts
......... A5............... C5.................. F5......
As it's pretty clear a civil war has broken out
C5............................. G5.........................
A Southie iron worker leaving work behind
.. A5....... C5............................... F5.............
As W.M.D. propaganda warped my fragile mind
(Pre-chorus)
G5But now I've lived the truth, my eyes are G5open wide
G5 (Power slide)
E.T.S. to Boston leave an oil war behind
(Chorus)
C5Not without a purpose and it's not without a F5fight
Another pC5oor kid caught up in a fire fightG5  
C5I do believe in JesuA5s and I pray to F5God tonightC5  
C5Not without a purpoG5se, not withoF5ut a fightG5  C5  
(Solo)
C5 D5 F5 G5
(Bridge)
C5Never give up, never D5give in, never walk F5away, always fightingG5  
Never give up, never give in, never walk away, always fighting
(Verse)

CMinutes turn to hours, hours into G5days
And as each Amone passes by it feels Call the sameF
