 /w Dist.              Lights...



E                  A                 B

Lights out tonight trouble in the heartland

     E                    A             B

Got a head-on collision smashin' in my guts man

      E                    A               B    E

I'm caught in a crossfire that I don't understand

                 A                B

But there's one thing I know for sure girl

   E          E-VII B        A                    B

I don't give a damn for the same old played out scenes 

   E           E-VII B    A             B

I don't give a damn for just the in-betweens 

 E                                 A            B           E

Honey I want the heart I want the soul i want control right now 

             A           B

You better listen to me baby

     A

Talk about a dream try to make it real 

      B

You wake up in the night with a fear so real 

    A                                               B        A

You spend your life waiting for a moment that just don't come

       E    B               A  B

Well don't waste your time waiting





E                   A             C#m

Badlands you gotta live it every day

 B        E

Let the broken hearts stand

        A                  C#m

As the price you've gotta pay

 B           E

We'll keep pushin' till it's understood

           A               B          E   | A B |

And these badlands start treating us good





  E                   A                 B

Workin' in the field till you get your back burned

   E                       A                 B

Workin' `neath the wheels till you get your facts learned

 E                    A            B

Baby I got my facts learned real good right now

            A                B

You better get it straight darling 

E               E-VII B  A                 B

Poor man wanna be rich, rich man wanna be king

E                  E-VII B   A               B

And a king ain't satisfied till he rules everything

   E                            A         B      E  | A B |

I wanna go out tonight, I wanna find out what I got

        A

Now I believe in the love that you gave me

     B

I believe in the faith that could save me

     A                       B         A    E

I believe in the hope and I pray that some day

   B                A   B

It will raise me above these





E                   A             C#m

Badlands you gotta live it every day

 B        E

Let the broken hearts stand

        A                  C#m

As the price you've gotta pay

 B           E

We'll keep pushin' till it's understood

           A               B          E

And these badlands start treating us good

A         B

Whoa whoa whoa whoa

Mmm________ Mmm________ Mmm____________



         E                        A            B

For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep inside

          E                  A          B

That it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive

         E                  A              B

I wanna find one face that ain't looking through me

         E                       A       B

I wanna find one place, I wanna spit in the face of these





E                   A             C#m

Badlands you gotta live it every day

 B        E
