[Intro]
Em   D   Cadd9   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
to 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 rest, 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
From dust
