GYou were standing with your girlfriends in Dsus4the streets
Cadd9Falling back on Em7foreveDsus4r, I wonder what Em7you Cadd9came tEm7o beDsus4
GI was new in town, the boy with the eager Dsus4eyes
Cadd9I never was a quEm7itter, Dsus4oblivious to schoolEm7girlCadd9s' lieEm7sDsus4
Cadd9When I look back on those neon nEm7ights
The leather seats, the passage rite
Cadd9I feel the heat, I see the Em7lighDsus4t
GMiss Atomic Bomb
Making out, wDsus4e've got the radio on
Cadd9You're gonna miss me when IEm7'm gone
Cadd9You're gonna miss me when IEm7'm gDsus4one
[Chorus]
GRacing shadows in the moonlight
Through thDsus4e desert on a hot night
Cadd9And for a second there we'd Em7won
Cadd9Yeah, we were innocent and yEm7oungDsus4
G- Dsus4- Cadd9- Em7- Cadd9- Em7 Dsus4(x2)
[Verse]
GCast out of the night, well you've got a foolish Dsus4heart
Cadd9So you took your place but tEm7he fall from grace was the hA7sus4ardest partEm7 Dsus4
GIt feels just like a dagger buried deep in your bDsus4ack
You run for cover but you can't escape the second attack
Cadd9Your soul was innocent, she kissed him and she Em7painted it black
Cadd9You should have seen your little face, burnin' foEm7r loA7sus4ve
Em7HoldDsus4in on' for your life
Cadd9All that I wanted was a littEm7le touch,
A little tenderness and truth, I didn't ask for much, no
Cadd9Talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time
GMiss Atomic Bomb
Making oDsus4ut, we've got the radio on
Cadd9You're gonna miss me when I'm Em7gone
Cadd9You're gonna miss me when I'm Em7gonDsus4e

GRacing shadows in the moonlight
Dsus4We're taking chances on a hot night
Cadd9And for a second there we'd wonEm7
Cadd9Yeah we were innocent and youngEm7 Dsus4
GThe dust cloud has settled, and my eyes are clear
But sometimes in dreams of impact I still hear
GMiss Atomic Bomb, I'm standing heDsus4re
Cadd9Sweat on my skin
And this lEm7ove that I've cradleCadd9d
Is wearing thEm7in (Dsus4Miss Atomic Bomb)G
But I'm standing here Dsus4and you're too lateCadd9
YouEm7r shock-wave whCadd9isper has sealeEm7d yoDsus4ur fate
GIt feels just like a dagger buried deep in your back (Dsus4It's so cruel [?])
You run for cover but you can't escape the second attack (and you turn your back, you're so)
Cadd9Your soul was innocent, she kissed him and she paiEm7nted it black (on a losing game)
Cadd9You should have seen your little face, burning for Em7lovDsus4e,

It’s even harder when the dirtbag’s famous
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Dm Am/E
I saw my mother on the street last night
F Gm A#
All pretty and strong, singing “the road is long”
C
I said “Momma, I know you’ve tried”
But she fell on her knees and cried
[Chorus 2]
A# Dm
Run for cover
F Gm
Run while you can baby, don't look back
A# Dm
You gotta run for cover
F C
Don't be afraid of the fear, that's a played out trap, man
Am A# C Dm
I know you're not the only one
A# C
And don't look back, just run for cover
[Bridge]
Am A# Dm
And there was nothing she wouldn't give
A# Am A#
Just to trust him with her nightmares, with her dreams
Dm C
Now she's running, she's running
A#
Just to trust him
Dm
He got big smile, he's fake news
F
Just run for cover, you've got nothing left to lose
[Chorus 3]
N.C. Dm
Run for cover
F Gm
Run while you can baby, don't look back
A# Dm
You gotta run for cover

Don't be afraid of the fear, that's a played out trap, man
Am A# C Dm
You know you're not the only one

It started with a low light, next thing I knew they ripped me from my bed.

And then they took my blood type, they left a strange impression in my head.

You know that I was hopin', that I could leave this starcrossed world behind.

You better look it over, before you make that leap.

And you know I'm fine, but I hear those voices

at night sometimes, that justify my claim.

Capo 1
[Intro]
D D D D
[Verse]
D D A G
A dustland fairytale beginning, just another white trash county kiss.
D D D D
In 'Sixty-One, long brown hair and foolish eyes.
D D A G
He looked just like you'd want him to - some kind of slick chrome American prince.
A Bm Bm G G
A blue jean serenade, Moon River, what you do to me.
E E
But I don't believe you.
[Chorus]
D D Gmaj7/B Gmaj7/B
Saw Cinderella in a party dress but she was looking for a nightgown.
A A D D/F#
I saw the devil wrapping up his hands, he's getting ready for the showdown.
G D/F# Bm A D D
(D/A#)
I saw the minute that I turned away, I got my money on a palm tonight.
[Verse]
D D A G
The change came in disguise of revelation set his soul on fire.
D/A Gmaj7/B D D
She says she always knew he'd come around.
D D Bm Bm
And the decades disappear like sinking ships that we persevere.
G G/B D D
God gives us hope, but we still fear, we don't know, the mind is poison.
Bm Bm G G
Castles in the sky sit stranded, vandalised.
E E
The drawbridge is closing.
[Chorus]
D/A D/A Gmaj7/B Gmaj7/B
Saw Cinderella in a party dress but she was looking for a nightgown.

(D/A#)
I saw the ending when they turned the page, I threw my money and I ran away.
D/F# A
Straight to the valley of the great divide.
[Middle Eight:]
A D D G

Out where the dreams all hide, out where the wind don't blow.
G Bm Bm D
(A) (A)
Out here the good girls die, and the sky won't snow.
D G G G
(A) (A)
Out here the bird don't sing, out here the field don't grow.

Is there still magic in the midnight sun? Or did you leave it back in 'Sixty-One?

In the cadence of a young man's eyes, and where the dreams roll high

You were standing with your girlfriends in the streets

Falling back on forever, I wonder what you came to be
G Dsus4
I was new in town, the boy with the eager eyes
Cadd9 Em7 Dsus4 Em7 Cadd9 Em7 Dsus4
I never was a quitter, oblivious to schoolgirls' lies

When I look back on those neon nights
The leather seats, the passage rite

Cast out of the night, well you've got a foolish heart
Cadd9 Em7 A7sus4 Em7 Dsus4
So you took your place but the fall from grace was the hardest part

It feels just like a dagger buried deep in your back
You run for cover but you can't escape the second attack
Cadd9 Em7
Your soul was innocent, she kissed him and she painted it black
Cadd9 Em7 A7sus4
You should have seen your little face, burnin' for love
Em7 Dsus4
Holdin on' for your life

The dust cloud has settled, and my eyes are clear
But sometimes in dreams of impact I still hear

Miss Atomic Bomb, I'm standing here
Cadd9
Sweat on my skin

And this love that I've cradled
Em7 Dsus4 G
Is wearing thin (Miss Atomic Bomb)

But I'm standing here and you're too late
Em7 Cadd9 Em7 Dsus4
Your shock-wave whisper has sealed your fate

It feels just like a dagger buried deep in your back (It's so cruel [?])
You run for cover but you can't escape the second attack (and you turn your back, you're so)
Cadd9 Em7
Your soul was innocent, she kissed him and she painted it black (on a losing game)
Cadd9 Em7 Dsus4
You should have seen your little face, burning for love,

But you can't survive (All that I wanted was a little touch)

There's another side (Talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time)

[Verse 1]
E C#m G#m A B
I drove through the desert last night
E C#m G#m A B
I carried the weight of our last fight

Elvis singing "Don't be Cruel" and I wonder if you feel it too

It's like we're going under.
C#m F#m G#m
Somewhere outside the lonely Esmeralda County line,
A B
The question of my heart came to my mind:
[Chorus]

If I go on with you by my side,
A E B A
Can it be the way it was when we met?
E B
Did you forget all about those golden nights?
[Verse 2]
E C#m G#m A B
Maybe if thieves stole your heart
E C#m G#m
Or maybe we just drifted apart.
A B
I remember driving
E C#m G#m
In my daddy's car to the airfield, blanket on the hood,
A B
Backs against the windshield.
C#m F#m G#m
Back then this thing was running on momentum, love and trust.
A B
That paradise is buried in the dust.
[Chorus]
A E
If I go on with you by my side,
A E B A
Can it be the way it was when we met?
E B
Did you forget all about those golden nights?
(The way it was, it was)

(If we go on can it be)
A E B A
Can it be the way it was when we met?
E B
Did you forget all about them golden nights?
[Chorus]
A E
If I go on with you by my side,
A E B
Can it be the way it was?
A E
My heart is true, girl, it's just you
B
I'm thinking of
A E
Can it be the way it was?

And go on to bed

Nobody knows what lies ahead

And life is short

To say the least

We're in the belly of the beast

Fearlessness on your sleeve

When you've come back tell me what did you see

Close your eyes

Soon enough you'll be on your own

Steady and straight

And if they drag you through the mud

It doesn't change what's in your blood
Over chains

When they knock you down

In your wildest dream

In your made up scheme

When they knock you down
Am
When they knock you down
Am F
Don't break character

You've got a lot of heart
Am Dm
Is this real or just a dream?
