INTRO
E C#m | G#m |
E C#m | G#m |
[E]Nostradamus said [G#m]I predict
That the [C#m]world will end at [E/B]half past six
[A]What he didn't say [G7]was exactly [E]when
Was he [G]listening to the [A]radi[E]o?
Was he [C]listening to the [B7]govern[E]ment?[B]
VERSE
Well he [E]got us spooked [G#m]anyway
We'd been [C#m]running hot up unt[E/B]il today
But a [A]wind of change blew [G7]across our [E]sales
We were [G]coasting on a [A]winning [E]streak
We were [G]kings until the [A]power [E]failed
CHORUS
We've been [D]living in a tinder[F#m]box
And [Bm]two sparks can set the [D/A]whole thing off
[G]Rubbing up together a[D/F#]round the clock
[F]Lately we've been getting more [C/E]roll than rock
[Eb]You and me together in a [Bb]tin[C]derbo[D]x (tinder[F#m]box)
[Bm]Two sparks can set the [D/A]whole thing off
[G]Rubbing up together a[D/F#]round the clock
[F]Lately we've been getting more [C/E]roll than rock
[Eb]You and me together in a [Bb]tin[C]derbo[D]x
INSTRUMENTAL
E C#m | G#m |
E C#m | G#m |
VERSE
[E] Godzilla came [G#m]in disguise
[C#m]Tore the building down right be[E/B]fore our eyes
[A] Kept the needle[G7] out of the red bal[E]loon
Was he [G]worried we might [A]go too [E]far
Maybe [G]wind up rhyming [A]moon and [E]June
VERSE
The [E]sun descends down in [G#m]Mexico
While a [C#m]fancy car back on [E/B]Savile Row
[A]Shows the price of fame [G7]leads to [E]overkill
[G]Things are gonna [A]have to [E]change
Some [G]holes along the [A]road get [E]filled
CHORUS
We've been [D]living in a tinder[F#m]box
And [Bm]two sparks can set the [D/A]whole thing off
[G]Rubbing up together a[D/F#]round the clock
[F]Lately we've been getting more [C/E]roll than rock
[Eb]You and me together in a [Bb]tin[C]derbo[D]x (tinder[F#m]box)
[Bm]Two sparks can set the [D/A]whole thing off
[G]Rubbing up together a[D/F#]round the clock
[F]Lately we've been getting more [C/E]roll than rock
[Eb]You and me together in a [Bb]tin[C]derbo[D]x[E]
BRIDGE
[F#]Pressure's gonna cook us if we don't [G#]unlock it
[C#m]Guns going off if we [C#m/B]don't uncock it
We've [F#m]gotta climb out of the [G#7]other one's pocket
Or we're [C#m]gonna burn, out on this [C#m/B]beautiful [A]rocket[B]
CHORUS
[D] Tinder[F#m]box
And [Bm]two sparks can set the [D/A]whole thing off
[G]Rubbing up together a[D/F#]round the clock
[F]Lately we've been getting more [C/E]roll than rock
[Eb]You and me together in a [Bb]tin[C]derbo[D]x (tinder[F#m]box)
[Bm]Two sparks can set the [D/A]whole thing off
[G]Rubbing up together a[D/F#]round the clock
[F]Lately we've been getting more [C/E]roll than rock
[Eb]You and me together in a [Bb]tin[C]derbo[D]x
