F#m D A E

---VERSE---

A Bm F#m

We walked over the bridge in Milwaukee

G A D A E

Past the statue of Fonz and the duck

F#m D

With the wind kicking in

A E D

and the sparrows all running amok

A Bm F#m

And that woman, your friend who was pregnant

G A D A E

Put your hand on her belly for luck

F#m D

And I laughed 'cause it's you and

A E D

I knew that you knew you were stuck

---CHORUS---

E A D

You can tee---eee-eeell

F#m D

By the laugh in the dark

A E

at the sound of the bell

E A D

You can tee---eee-eeell

F#m D

It's the nucleus burning

A E

inside of the cell

F#m D

It's the nucleus burning

A E

inside of the cell…

---SOLO BREAK---

---VERSE II---

A Bm F#m

We got over that bridge and went walking

G A D A E

Back to a table with cards to be dealt

F#m D A

And a show where the whole front row

E D

was taking pictures of itself

A Bm

And then, man, your old friend turned

F#m G

the night on its end

A D A E

Like your time was a bottomless well

F#m D

But you grabbed me and said, "Come

A E D

on back from the ledge for a spell"

---CHORUS II---

E A D

You can tee---eee-eeell

F#m D

By the laugh in the dark

A E

at the sound of the bell

E A D

You can tee---eee-eeell

F#m D

It's the nucleus burning

A E

inside of the cell

F#m D

It's the nucleus burning

A E

inside of the cell…
