 This has the live version and track notes mixed together so its not perfectly matched 
to the song because IMAGINE DRAGONS plays it a little differently live, but the base is 
both the same so you can mess around with it to make it work. I added a couple extra  
things in there to :) 

Thanks to evilbeast3 for the optional lead Chorus

         C 
When the days are cold 
        G 
And the cards all fold 
        Am 
And the saints we see 
        C' 
Are all made of gold 

          C 
When your dreams all fail 
        G 
And the ones we hail 
        Am 
Are the worst of all 
        C'                C 
And the blood's run stale

But with the beast inside

There's nowhere we can hide 

                        G 
No matter what we breed

We still are made of greed

When the curtain's call

If you love somebody

Better tell them while theyre here cause 
G                                 Dm 
They just may run away from you 

Youll never know what went well 
Then again it just depends on 
How long of time is left for you 

Ive had the highest mountains 
Ive had the deepest rivers 
You can have it all but life keeps moving 


Am          G 
Now take it in but dont look down

verse 2 (*same as V1) 

Ive tried to cut these corners 
Try to take the easy way out 
I kept on falling short of something 

I coulda gave up then but 
Then again I couldn?t have cause 
Ive traveled all this way for something 
   Am      G 
Now take it in but dont look down

And I know its hard when youre falling down 
C 
And its a long way up when you hit the ground 
G                             Dm 
Get up now, get up, get up now. 

And I know its hard when youre falling down 
And its a long way up when you hit the ground 
Get up now, get up, get up now.

And now it's time to build from the bottom of the pit right to the top, 
                
Don't hold back 
      G 
Packing my bags and giving the academy a rain check 

D                                         A 
I don't ever want to let you down

I don't ever want to leave this town

'Cause after all 

This city never sleeps at night... 


D 
It's time to begin, isn't it? 
                        Bm 
I get a little bit bigger, but then,  
                                      Em 
I'll admit, I'm just the same as I was

Now don't you understand 

That I'm never changing who I am? 


D A Bm G 

D 
So this is where you fell, and I am left to sell 
A 
the path that heaven runs through miles of clouded hell,  
             Bm 
right to the top 

Don't look back 
G 
Turning to rags and give the commodities a rain check

I don't ever want to let you down

Now don't you understand 

That I'm never changing who I am? x2 


Bm                          A 
This road never looked so lonely, 
                              G 
This house doesn't burn down slowly, 
Em            G 
to ashes, to ashes... 


D 
It's time to begin, isn't it? 
                      Bm 
I get a little bit bigger, but then,  
                                            Em 
I'll admit, I'm just the same as I was 
                       G 
Now don't you understand 

That I'm never changing who I am?
