Intro: G C D G

Verse:
  G          Bm                 C             G    Bm   C
Growinʼ up, you donʼt see the writing on the wall
 G           Bm                C               G    Bm   C
Passinʼ by, movinʼ straight ahead, you knew it all
           Em              C
But maybe sometime if you feel the pain
                   Em                C         D
Youʼll find youʼre all alone, everything has changed

  G             Bm                 C               G    Bm   C
Play the game, you know you canʼt quit until itʼs won
 G          Bm            C               G    Bm   C
Soldier on, only you can do what must be done
             Em                C
You know in some way youʼre a lot like me
                Em                  C               D
Youʼre just a prisoner and youʼre tryinʼ to break free

Chorus:
E                       A                 B
I can see a new horizon, underneath the blazinʼ sky
E                                 A          B
Iʼll be where the eagleʼs flying higher and higher
E                           A                   B
Gonna be your man in motion, all I needʼs this pair of wheels
E                               A            B
Take me where my futureʼs lyinʼ, St. Elmoʼs fire
C           D        G
Ooh ooh ooh ooo-ooh

Verse:
 G           Bm                  C              G            Bm    C
Burning up, donʼt know just how far that I can go (Just how far I go)
 G            Bm           C                  G     Bm   C
Soon be home, only just a few miles down the road
       Em          C
I can make it, I know, I can
               Em                C               D
You broke the boy in me but you wonʼt break the man

Chorus:
E                       A                 B
I can see a new horizon, underneath the blazinʼ sky
E                                 A          B
Iʼll be where the eagleʼs flying higher and higher
E                           A                   B
Gonna be your man in motion, all I needʼs this pair of wheels
E                               A            B
Take me where my futureʼs lyinʼ, St. Elmoʼs fire
E                                A           B
I can climb the highest mountain, cross the wildest sea
E                           A          B   C          D
I can feel St. Elmoʼs fire burninʼ in me, burninʼ in me

Bridge:
G                        C               D
   Just once in his life, a man has his time
G                     C                 D
   And my time is now, and Iʼm coming alive

Chorus:
E                            A               B
I can hear the music playinʼ, I can see the banners fly
E                           A                 B
Feel like youʼre back again, and hope ridinʼ high
E                           A                   B
Gonna be your man in motion, all I needʼs this pair of wheels

Take me where my futureʼs lyinʼ, St. Elmoʼs fire
E                       A                 B
I can see a new horizon, underneath the blazinʼ sky
E                                 A          B
Iʼll be where the eagleʼs flying higher and higher
E                           A                   B
Gonna be your man in motion, all I needʼs this pair of wheels
E                               A            B
Take me where my futureʼs lyinʼ, St. Elmoʼs fire
E                                A           B
I can climb the highest mountain, cross the wildest sea
E                           A          B
I can feel St. Elmoʼs fire burninʼ in me

Outro:
E         A  B          E  A              B
   Burninʼ, burninʼ in me, I can feel it burninʼ

   Oooh, burninʼ inside of me
