  E   F#   A   F#   E(x2)
[Verse 1]
(All power chords but played with open E until main riff)
EWatch me jumpstart as the old skin is peeled
F#See an opening and bust into the field
BHidden longings no Alonger concealed
E  F# A  F# E
E  F# A  F# E
EWatch me bulldoze every bulldozer away
F#Each new obstacle from each old new day
BWhere it's going, it's hAard for me to say
E  F# A  F# E
E  F# A  F# E
[Chorus]
EAnd shoot me downAm  Asus2  
EAnd bring me dowAmn
But I wC#mon't be around
As you F#run through the places you love
I'll reEmember the faces that cry
And they're pAmulling me back so I have to die
[Verse 2]
EAnd watch me jumpstart at the first light of day
F#Each new sensation just blows me away
BDon't look now, don't look Anow, I'm a phase
E  F# A  F# E
E  F# A  F# E
EStraight from ground zero, X marks the spot
F#I can't pretend to be something I'm not
B'Cause I'm a supernova, eArect and white hot
E  F# A  F# E
E  F# A  F# E
[Chorus]
EAnd shoot me downAm  Asus2  
EAnd bring me dowAmn
But I won't be C#maround
As you F#run through the places you love
I'll reEmember the faces that cry
And they're pAmulling me back so I have to die
[Verse 3]
EAnd watch me jumpstart, I'm Maximum Jack
F#Shot through the cosmos like an alien attack
BFilm finished, fAade into black
[Outro]
