G       D
 I am a breadwinner
A           D                     G
 I chose to brick these walls somehow
            D
Beneath the city spires
A          D                G
 I gave my shoulders to the plow
         D
Cold and cruel the concrete
A           D                   G
 The wicked pavement chokes the sky
             D
I chose this path
A           D
 The one so often traveled by.

Chorus:
  G                  D      A        D
Tonight, we burn the wintry frost of night.
  G               D       A      D
Tonight, we wish upon the fading light.
  G                  D           A
Tonight, our burning hearts will rise.
  D                 G     D A D G D A D
Tonight, we own the skies.

Verse 2:
G             D                   A     D
 My hands are bleeding where they often crack.
               G                   D
The stars will sometimes burn with longing,
            A       D
Through the choking black of night shifts,
G            D
Piling each against the next.
  A              D
A Trojan horse inside my chest,
   G                 D
Is screaming for the life I left,
   A             D
My kingdom for a steady paycheck.

Chorus:

  G                  D      A        D
Tonight, we burn the wintry frost of night.
  G               D       A      D
Tonight, we wish upon the fading light.
  G                  D           A
Tonight, our burning hearts will rise.
  D                 Em    
Tonight, we own the skies.
