[Intro]
E
E  E   E  E7   A  D   F#m  E
E  E7  A  D   F#m  E 

[Verse 1]
E7                  A         D
Fourth place anthem playing tonight
     F#m        E
On a broken radio
E7                     A
Thought we reached the mountain top
    D   F#m             E
But now we just feel so low
     E7             A     
The sky is breaking open, 
        D
we keep hoping
       F#m                   E
In the distance, we\'ll see a glow
E7                  A
Lightning light our way
        D          
Til the black sky, 
F#m               E    E    E  E7
turns back to indigo

[Chorus]
A                     D
 We can make it if you 
 don’t quit on me
F#m                  E
 I won\'t quit on you, 
 don\'t quit on me
E                      E7
 We can make it, baby, please, 
 don\'t quit on me
A                    D
 I won\'t quit on you, 
 don\'t quit on me
F#m                 E    E7
 I\'ll never quit on you

[Verse 2]
A                D
 We were born in paradise
F#m                  E    E7
 Beneath a poisoned sky
A        D
 Under a bad sign
          F#m        E
The micro-age of Gemini
    E7             A
And we are still unlearning
          D          
Tirеs are burning in 
    F#m             E
the middle of Rodеo Drive
E7                   A      
Know that we’ve been beaten 
         D
down and broken
    F#m               E    
But now we could testify
E    E  E7

[Chorus]
A                     D
 We can make it if you 
 don’t quit on me
F#m                  E
 I won\'t quit on you, 
 don\'t quit on me
E                      E7
 We can make it, baby, please, 
 don\'t quit on me
A                    D
 I won\'t quit on you, 
 don\'t quit on me
F#m                 E
 I\'ll never quit on you

[Outro]
E         E7    A
 It’s not up to you
         D             F#m  
Some you win, some you lose 
          E         E
(When the lightning comes)
          E7     A
You don’t get to choose
       D           F#m  
So you win, so you lose 
          E         E
(When the lightning comes)
