VERSE 1:
E
There's a breakdown on the runway, And the timeless flights are gone
D A E
I'm a year ahead of myself these days, And I'm locomotive strong
E
My city spread like cannon fire In a yellow nervous state
D A E
I can't cut the ties that bind me To horoscopes and fate
CHORUS:
D/A A D/A A
And I won't break and I won't bend
D/A A E
But someday soon we'll sail away
B B7 E E7
To innocence and the bitter end
D/A A D/A A
And I won't break and I won't bend
D/A A E
And with the last breath we ever take
B B7 A E
We're gonna get back to the simple life again
BRIDGE:
G E G D A A
G E G D A
VERSE 2:
When we break out of this blindfold I'm gonna take you from this place
Until we're free from this ball and chain I'm still hard behind the eight
My city beats like hammered steel On a shallow cruel rock
If we could walk proud after midnight We'd never have to stop

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official ELTON JOHN tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
