Intro:  G  D  Em  C  (3x)  

whoa whoa....  

 G        D                  Em  
Days all bleed into one another  
    C  
lately  
 G              D  
my brain is strained  
                   Em  
and I got no direction  
    C  
maybe  
          Em                             C  
we could pick up all the pieces off the ground  
          G                      D  
to this puzzle overtakin' people down down down  


 G                              D  
now you'd better break all the windows  
            Em  
hotwire my heart  
              C  
you are the cables  
              G  
when I fall apart  
                 D  
and I'm goin' nowhere  
                Em  
if this battery dies  
                 C  
in a blink of an eye  
                   G  
we'll be bending time  


 D  Em  C  
whoa whoa....  

 G             D                        Em  
and I've been drained from all of your affection  
    C  
lately  
 G            D                              Em  
but I can't complain you're the queen of all deception  
    C  
maybe  
          Em                              C  
we should look at all these faces in the crowd  
        G                                 D  
when I smile until your curtain is comin' down down down  

 G                              D  
you'd better break all the windows  
            Em  
hotwire my heart  
              C  
you are the cables  
              G  
when I fall apart  
                 D  
and I'm goin' nowhere  
                Em  
if this battery dies  
                 C  
in a blink of an eye  
                   G  
we'll be bending time  


 G                              D  
you'd better break all the windows  
            Em  
hotwire my heart  
              C  
you are the cables  
              G  
when I fall apart  
                 D  
and I'm goin' nowhere  
                Em  
if this battery dies  
                 C  
in a blink of an eye  
                   G  
we'll be bending time  

                      D  
this building's at capacity  
      Em                   C  
this bomb's a ticking tragedy  
      G           D  
and I've got no philosophy 
        Em                           C   
just pleading for this scenery to change  
           D  
enough for me to say  

 G                              D  
you'd better break all the windows  
            Em  
hotwire my heart  
              C  
you are the cables  
              G  
when I fall apart  
                 D  
and I'm goin' nowhere  
                Em  
if this battery dies  
                 C  
in a blink of an eye  
                   G  
we'll be bending time  

 G                              D  
you'd better break all the windows  
            Em  
hotwire my heart  
              C  
you are the cables  
              G  
when I fall apart  
                 D  
and I'm goin' nowhere  
                Em  
if this battery dies  
                 C  
in a blink of an eye  
                   G  
we'll be bending time  

 D  Em  C  G  D  Em  C  
whoa whoa....  

 Em                 C  
in the blink of an eye  
                 G  
we'll be bending time  
                    C  
in the blink of an eye  
                Em  
we're gonna be wondering why  
 C                 D  
in the blink of an eye 
                 G  - let ring  
we'll be bending time.
