C                                              F
Not without a purpose and it's not without a fight
       C                                          G
I've got three tales to tell you so please sit tight
           C                    Am                        F   
                        C
It's the story of three underdogs who've grown to see their light
C                    G            F          G       C
Not without a purpose, not without a fight 
(Verse)
C5 .................................... G5 ........................
Been away for far too long, you're on my mind
.............. A5 .............. C5 .......... F5 ............
Got your picture and I stare at it all the time
C5 .............................. G5 ..................
Minutes turn to hours, hours into days
........... A5 .................. C5 ........... F5 ............
And as each one passes by it feels all the same
(Pre-Chorus)
G5                                      G5
But the lights they go dark, Man In Black on the P.A.
G5                                            (Power slide)
Walk up the stairs as one again to decimate the stage
 
(Chorus)
C5                                            F5
Not without a purpose and it's not without a fight
       C5                                     G5
Our spirit lives forever blinded by the city lights
           C5                A5                       F5      
           C5
If we keep our act together we might make another night
C5                   G5        F5         G5      C5
Not without a purpose, not without a fight
(Verse)
C5 ........................................... G5 .............
Hey, I was always just another average kid
.............. A5 ....... C5 ................... F5
Looking up to the Pistols, idolizing Sid
C5 .......................................... G5 .............
I guess my parents never really felt the same
A5 ....................... C5 ............................. F5
Spikes and leather jackets hurt my family name
(Pre-Chorus)
G5                                G5
Now I'm on the streets, now I've been locked out
G5                                        (Power slide)
Friends and punk rock music were the only way out
 
(Verse)
   C5 ................................. G5 .....................
I started as a firm believer, now I own my doubts
......... A5 ............... C5 .................. F5 ......
As it's pretty clear a civil war has broken out
C5 ............................. G5 .........................
A Southie iron worker leaving work behind
.. A5 ....... C5 ............................... F5 .............
As W.M.D. propaganda warped my fragile mind
(Pre-Chorus)
G5                                       G5
But now I've lived the truth, my eyes are open wide
G5                                (Power slide)
E.T.S. to Boston leave an oil war behind
 
(Chorus)
C5                                           F5
Not without a purpose and it's not without a fight
         C5                                           G5
Another poor kid caught up in a fire fight
C5                  A5              F5               C5
I do believe in Jesus and I pray to God tonight
C5                 G5           F5         G5     C5
Not without a purpose, not without a fight
(Solo)
C5 D5 F5 G5
 
(Bridge)
C5                   D5                 F5                       G5
Never give up, never give in, never walk away, always fighting
Never give up, never give in, never walk away, always fighting
(Verse)
C                                        G
Been away for far too long, you're on my mind
               Am               C                       F
Got your picture and I stare at it all the time
C                                 G5
Minutes turn to hours, hours into days
            Am                    C                        F
And as each one passes by it feels all the same
(Chorus)
C5                                            F5
Not without a purpose and it's not without a fight
       C5                                     G5
Our spirit lives forever blinded by the city lights
           C5                A5                       F5      
           C5
If we keep our act together we might make another night
C5                   G5           F5         G5      C5
Not without a purpose, not without a fight
C5                                            F5
Not without a purpose and it's not without a fight
       C5                                     G5
Our spirit lives forever blinded by the city lights
           C5                A5                       F5      
           C5
If we keep our act together we might make another night
C5                   G5         F5         G5      C5
Not without a purpose, not without a fight
C5                  G5          F5      G5     C5 (Hold)
Not without a purpose not without a fight           to the end
