Intro:
E C#m G#m
E C#m G#m
E G#m
Nostradamus said I predict
C#m C#m/B
That the world will end at half past six
A G E
What he didn't say was exactly when
C D E
Was he listening to the ra dio?
C D E
Was he listening to the government?
E G#m
Well he got us spooked anyway
C#m C#m/B
We'd been running hot up until today
A G E
But a wind of change blew across our sales
C D E
We were coasting on a winning streak
C D E
We were kings until the power failed
D F#m
We've been living in a tinder box
Bm Bm/A
And two sparks can set the whole thing off
G D/F#
Rubbing up together around the clock
F C/E
Lately we've been getting more roll than rock
Eb Bb C D
You and me together in a tin der box
Bm Bm/A
And two sparks can set the whole thing off
G D/F#
Rubbing up together around the clock
F C/E
Lately we've been getting more roll than rock
Eb Bb C D
You and me together in a tin der box
E G#m
Godzilla came in disguise
C#m C#m/B
Tore the building down right before our eyes
A G E
Kept the needle out of the red balloon
C D E
Was he worried we might go too far
C D E
Maybe wind up rhyming moon and June
E G#m
The sun descends down in Mexico
C#m C#m/B
While a fancy car back on Savile Row
A G E
Shows the price of fame leads to overkill
C D E
Things are gonna have to change
C D E
Some holes along the road get filled
(chorus)
F#m G#
Pressure's gonna cook us if we don't unlock it
C# C#/B
Guns going off if we don't uncock it
F#m G#
We've gotta climb out of the other one's pocket
C#m C#m/B A
Or we're gonna burn, out on this beautiful rocket
(chorus)
