[Intro]
G D Em B7
[Verse 1]
Em D
As a child, you would wait
Cadd9 B7
and watch from far away.
Em D
But you always knew that you'd be the one
Cadd9 B7
that work while they all play.
Em D
In youth, you'd lay,
Cadd9 B7
awake at night and scheme
Em D
of all the things that you would change,
Cadd9 B7
but it was just a dream.
[Chorus]
Em G Cadd9 B7
Here we are, don't turn away now,
Em G Cadd9 B7
we are the warriors that built this town.
Em G Cadd9 B7
Here we are, don't turn away now,
Em G Cadd9 B7
we are the warriors that built this town
Em
From dust
[Verse 2]
D
The time will come,
Cadd9 B7
when you'll have to rise
Em D
above the best, and prove yourself,
Cadd9 B7
your spirit never dies!
Em D
Farewell, I've gone,
Cadd9 B7
to take my throne above,
Em D
but don't weep for me, 'cuz this will be
Cadd9 B7
the labor of my love
[Chorus]
Em G Cadd9 B7
Here we are, don't turn away now,
Em G Cadd9 B7
we are the warriors that built this town.
Em G Cadd9 B7
Here we are, don't turn away now,
Em G Cadd9 B7
we are the warriors that built this town
Em
