G Am
I walked the streets of this little town
G C G
Late last night when it all shut down
C Em G
Feeling stuck between lost and found and nowhere
[Verse 2]
G Am
Using my memory for a map
G C G
I went looking for trains on the torn up tracks
C Em G
With a weary conductor, he just turned his back but he's still there
[Chorus]
G C
Waiting for the resurrection
Em C G
Fire from the ashes and the tears
Em
The resurrection
C Am Em G
You know dreams die hard, dreams die hard around here
[Verse 3]
G Am
Well, it's hard to believe I'm back again
G C G
Looking up old lovers and long lost friends
C Em G
Just to reminisce like the veterans and survivors
[Verse 4]
G Am
I heard Reverend Bill with the kind old face
G C G
Say he got a little stale and he's been replaced
C Em G
Still we all bowed our heads when he said grace at the diner
[Chorus]
G C
Waiting for the resurrection
Em C G
Fire from the ashes and the tears
Em
The resurrection
C Am Em G
You know dreams die hard, dreams die hard around here
[Bridge]
C Em
Well, the engine dies and the main line fails
C Em
But surely the heart and the soul prevails
G C D
Like the wildflowers grow between the rails in the summer
[Chorus]
G C
Oh, the resurrection
Em C G
Fire from the ashes and the tears
Em
The resurrection
C
You know dreams die hard
C Am Em G
Dreams die hard, dreams die hard around here
C
Oh, around here
Am Em G
Dreams die hard around here
