EG#m
Nostradamus said I predict
C#mE/B
That the world will end at half past six
AG7E
What he didn't say was exactly when
GAE
Was he listening to the radio?
CB7EB
Was he listening to the government?
VERSE
EG#m
Well he got us spooked anyway
C#mE/B
We'd been running hot up until today
AG7E
But a wind of change blew across our sales
GAE
We were coasting on a winning streak
GAE
We were kings until the power failed
CHORUS
DF#m
We've been living in a tinderbox
BmD/A
And two sparks can set the whole thing off
GD/F#
Rubbing up together around the clock
FC/E
Lately we've been getting more roll than rock
EbBbCDF#m
You and me together in a tinderbox (tinderbox)
BmD/A
Two sparks can set the whole thing off
GD/F#
Rubbing up together around the clock
FC/E
Lately we've been getting more roll than rock
EbBbCD
You and me together in a tinderbox

VERSE
EG#m
Godzilla came in disguise
C#mE/B
Tore the building down right before our eyes
AG7E
Kept the needle out of the red balloon
GAE
Was he worried we might go too far
GAE
Maybe wind up rhyming moon and June
VERSE
EG#m
The sun descends down in Mexico
C#mE/B
While a fancy car back on Savile Row
AG7E
Shows the price of fame leads to overkill
GAE
Things are gonna have to change
GAE
Some holes along the road get filled
CHORUS
DF#m
We've been living in a tinderbox

BRIDGE
F#G#
Pressure's gonna cook us if we don't unlock it
C#mC#m/B
Guns going off if we don't uncock it
F#mG#7
We've gotta climb out of the other one's pocket
C#mC#m/BAB
Or we're gonna burn, out on this beautiful rocket
CHORUS
