            Verses 2 and 4 actually differ slightly from the others although I have shown them as identical, the
chords I have shown work fine but if you want to be more accurate you could replace them with the intro
chords. Feel free to comment, criticize etc. Please rate

[Intro] E C# B A B C# B X4

[Verse 1]
E                  A              B       
Lights out tonight trouble in the heartland                              
E                       A              B     
Got a head on collision trashin' in my guts, man             
    E                      A            B    E                     A                B                     
I'm caught in a cross fire that I don't understand but there's one thing I know for sure girl

[Verse 2]
E                           A                   B      
I don't give a damn for the same old played out scenes                         
E                       A             B                 
I don't give a damn for just the in-betweens               
E                                   A               B          E               A            B
Honey, I want the heart, I want the soul, I want control right now, you better listen to me baby

[Pre-Chorus]
A                                            B
Talk about a dream, try to make it real, you wake up in the night with a fear so real
A                                                    B                                 A   B
Spend your life waiting for a moment that just don't come, well, don't waste your time waiting

[Chorus]
E                   A             C#m     
Badlands, you gotta live it every day
        E                          A                  B
Let the broken hearts stand as the price you've gotta pay       
E                                     A              B                 E   A B
Keep pushin' till it's understood and these badlands start treating us good

[Verse 3]
E                     A                B    
Workin' in the fields and you get your back burned
E                        A                 B 
Workin' `neath the wheel and you get your facts learned
E                   A            B          E               A               B
Baby I got my facts learned real good right now, you better get it straight darling

[Verse 4]
E                       A                 B    
Poor man wanna be rich, rich man wanna be king 
      E                            A          B
And a king ain't satisfied 'til he rules everything
        E                       A        B      E  A B
I wanna go out tonight, I wanna find out what I got

[Pre-Chorus]
         A                                       B
Well I believe in the love that you gave me, I believe in the faith that could save me
    A                                      B                   A     B
I believe in the hope and I pray that some day it may raise me above these

[Chorus]
E                   A             C#m
Badlands, you gotta live it every day
        E                          A                  B
Let the broken hearts stand as the price you've gotta pay       
E                                     A              B           E          A B
Keep pushin' till it's understood and these badlands start treating us good

[Verse 5]
        E                        A             B
For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep inside
        E                  A            B
That it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive
        E                  A            B                   E                       A           B
I wanna find one face that aint looking through me, I wanna find one place, I wanna spit in the face of these 

[Chorus]
E                   A             C#m
Badlands, you gotta live it every day
        E                          A                  B
Let the broken hearts stand as the price you've gotta pay       
E                                     A              B                 E     A       B
Keep pushin' till it's understood and these badlands start treating us good, wo, oh, oh, oh

E         A   B           E         A       B       E         A       B
Badlands, wo, oh, oh, oh, badlands, wo, oh, oh, oh, badlands, wo, oh, oh, oh
E         A   B           E         A       B       E         A       B
