Capo 2.  Finger pick the chords and play it slowly.  Sounds beautiful.
[Verse]
GSo this is what you meant when you said that you were spent?
DAnd now it's time to build from the bottom of the pit right to the Emtop,
Don't hold back
CPacking my bags and giving the academy a rain check
[Bridge]
GI don't ever want to let you downD  
I don't ever want to leave this townEm  
'Cause after Call
This city never sleeps at night...
[Chorus]
GIt's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bEmigger, but then, 
I'll admit, I'm just the same as I Cwas
Now don't you undAmerstand
That I'm neCver changing wDho I am?
G D Em C
[Verse]
GSo this is where you fell, and I am left to sell
Dthe path that heaven runs through miles of clouded hell, 
right to the Emtop
Don't look back
CTurning to rags and give the commodities a rain check
[Bridge]
GI don't ever want to let you down
DI don't ever want to leave this tEmown
