[Verse 1]
Well, [C]lights out tonight
[F]Trouble in the hea[G]rtland
Got a [C]head on collision
[F]Smashin' in my [G]guts, man
I'm [C]caught in a cross fire
[F]That I don't un [G]dersta[C]nd
But there's one [F]thing I know for [G]sure

[Verse 2]
Girl [C]I don't give a d[G]amn
For the [F]same old played out [G]scenes
Baby, I [C]don't give a damn
[G]For [F]just the in-bet[G]weens

I want cont[G]rol right [C]now
You better [F]listen to me, [G]baby

[Pre-chorus 1]
[F]Talk about a dream, try to make it real
You [G]wake up in the night with a fear so real
You [F]spend your life waiting
For a moment that just don't [G]come[F]
Well, don't [G]waste your time [F]wait[G]ing

[Chorus 1]
[C]Badlands, you gotta [F]live it every[Am]day
[G]Let the [C]broken hearts stand
As the [F]price you've gotta [Am]pay[G]
Keep [C]pushin' 'til it's understood
And these [F]badlands start [G]treating us [C]good
[F][G]

[Verse 3]
[C]Workin' in the fields
[F]That'll get your [G]back burned
[C]Workin' 'neath the wheels
[F]'Til you get your [G]facts learned
[C]Baby, I got my facts
[F]Learned real goo[G]d right now[C]
You better [F]get it straight, [G]darlin'

[Verse 4]
[C]Poor man wanna be [G]rich

[Pre-chorus 2]
Well, I be[F]lieve in the love that you gave me
I be[G]lieve in the faith that can save me
I be[F]lieve in the hope and I pray
That someday [G]it [F]may raise [G]me
A[F]bove [G]these

[Chorus 2]
[C]Badlands, you gotta [F]live it every[Am]day
[G]Let the [C]broken hearts stand
As the [F]price you've gotta [Am]pay[G]

[Verse 5]
For the [C]ones who had a notion,
a [F]notion deep in[G]side
That it [C]ain't no sin
