(Chorus/Intro)
[C]Not without a purpose and it's not without a fi[F]ght
I've go[C]t three tales to tell you so please sit tig[G]ht
[C] [Am] [F]
It's the story of three [C]underdogs who've grown to see their light
[C]Not without a purpose[G], not without[F] a fight [G][C]
(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]But the lights they go dark, Man In Blac[G5]k on the P.A.
G5 (Power slide)
Walk up the stairs as one again to decimate the stage
(Chorus)
[C5]Not without a purpose and it's not without a f[F5]ight
Our spi[C5]rit lives forever blinded by the city l[G5]ights
[C5] [A5] [F5]
If we keep [C5]our act together we might make another night
[C5]Not without a purpose[G5], not with[F5]out a fight[G5][C5]
(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]Now I'm on the streets, now I've b[G5]een 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]But now I've lived the truth, my eyes are[G5] open wide
G5 (Power slide)
E.T.S. to Boston leave an oil war behind
(Chorus)
[C5]Not without a purpose and it's not without a [F5]fight
Another p[C5]oor kid caught up in a fire fight[G5]
[C5]I do believe in Jesu[A5]s and I pray to [F5]God tonight[C5]
[C5]Not without a purpo[G5]se, not witho[F5]ut a fight[G5][C5]
(Solo)
[C5] [D5] [F5] [G5]
(Bridge)
[C5]Never give up, never [D5]give in, never walk[F5] away, always fighting[G5]
Never give up, never give in, never walk away, always fighting
(Verse)
[C]Been away for far too long, you're on my [G]mind
Got your pictur[Am]e and I stare at [C]it all the time[F]
[C]Minutes turn to hours, hours into [G5]days
And as each [Am]one passes by it feels[C] all the same[F]
(Chorus)
[C5]Not without a purpose and it's not without a f[F5]ight
Our spi[C5]rit lives forever blinded by the city l[G5]ights
[C5] [A5] [F5]
If we keep [C5]our act together we might make another night
[C5]Not without a purpose[G5], not without[F5] a fight[G5][C5]
[C5]Not without a purpose and it's not without a f[F5]ight

[C5] [A5] [F5]
If we keep [C5]our act together we might make another night
[C5]Not without a purpose[G5], not witho[F5]ut a fight[G5][C5]
C5 G5 F5 G5 C5 (Hold)
Not without a purpose not without a fight to the end
