Battle Born Lyrics

This tab does not have the intro riff, this is simply my interpretation of the song.
Intro: F - C - Bb - C - Dm - F - Gm - Gm - Bb
Lost faith in the human spirit
You walk around like a ghost
Your star spangled heart
Took a train for the coast
When you shine you're a hill top mansion
So how'd ya lose the light?
Was it blown by the wind?
In the still of the night
We're up against the wall
Up against the wall
There's something dying on the street
When they knock you down
You're gonna get back on your feet
(But you can't stop now)
I always saw you as a kind of keeper
Mother to a child
But your boys have grown soft
And your girls have gone wild
To the redwood sky
The season may pass
But the dream doesn't die
Why did you drop the ball?
Up against the wall
There's something dying on the street
When they knock you down
You're gonna get back on your feet
(But you can't stop now)
Did they break your heart
And did they cause your soul to mourn
Remember what I said
Boy you was battle born
(But you can't stop now)
You was Battle Born
When the night falls on the land
Are you haunted by the sound?
It's gonna take more than a hand
To turn this thing around
Won't you lean it on me?
Rescue, set me free!
Up against the wall
(Up against the wall)
There's something dying on the street
When they knock you down
You're gonna get back on your feet
(But you can't stop now)
Did they break your heart
And did they cause your soul to mourn
Remember what I said
Boy you was battle born
(But you can't stop now)
Come on show your face
Come on give us one more spark
We'll sing a song of fire
Lost we fall into the dark
(No, you can't stop now)
You never know
If you never learn
You never shine
If you never burn
The rising tide
The undertow
The venom and
The overflow
You turn away
Welcome home.
