Intro:         
Verse 1: 
F                                                         Bb
I was raised out of steel here in the swamps of Jersey, some misty years ago
Dm                                                          Bb
Through the mud and the beer, and the blood and the cheers, I've seen champions come and go
F                              Bb
So if you got the guts mister, yeah, if you got the balls
Dm                                                   Bb
If you think it's your time, then step to the line, and bring on your wrecking ball
Chorus 1: 
                       F
Bring on your wrecking ball
                         Bb
Bring on your wrecking ball
                           Dm                         C
Come on and take your best shot, let me see what you got
                       F
Bring on your wrecking ball
Verse 2: 
F                                                              Bb
Now my home's here in these meadowlands, where mosquitoes grow big as airplanes
              Dm                                          Bb
Here where the blood is spilled, the arena's filled, and giants played their games
    F                                Bb
So raise up your glasses and let me hear your voices call
       Dm                                   Bb
Because tonight all the dead are here, so bring on your wrecking ball
Verse 2:

Now when all this steel and these stories, they drift away to rust
    Dm                                 Bb
And all our youth and beauty, it's been given to the dust
        F                                 Bb
When the game has been decided and we're burning down the clock
    Dm                                          Bb
And all our little victories and glories have turned into parking lots

When your best hopes and desires are scattered to the wind

And hard times come, and hard times go

And hard times come, and hard times go

Yeah just to come again
