Album: Man on the Rocks
[Verse 1]
Fm Cm Fm
Standing on the edge of the crater
Cm
Like the phrophets once said
Fm Cm
And the ashes are all cold now
Fm Cm
No more bullets and the embers are dead
Bbm Fm Bbm
Whispers in the air tell the tales
Fm
Of the brothers gone
Bbm
Desolation
Fm
Devastation
C#
What a mess we made
C
When it all went wrong
[Verse 2]
Fm Cm Fm
Watching from the edge of the circus
Cm
For the games to begin
Fm Cm
Gladiators draw their swords
C# C
Form their ranks for armageddon
[Chorus]
Fm
I'm nuclear
Cm
I'm wild
Bbm C
I'm breaking Up inside
Fm
A heart of broken glass
Cm
Defiled
Bbm
Deep inside
C
The abandoning child
[Verse 3]
Fm Cm Fm
Standing on the edge of the underworld
Cm
Looking at the abyss
Fm Cm
And I'm hoping for some miracle
Fm Cm
To break out to escape from all this
Bbm Fm
Whispers in the air
Bbm Fm
Tell the tale of a life that's gone
Bbm
Desolation
Fm
Devastation
C#
What a mess we made
C
When it all went wrong
[Chorus]
Fm
I'm nuclear
Cm
I'm wild
Bbm C
I'm breaking Up inside
Fm
A heart of broken glass
Cm
Defiled
Bbm
Deep inside
C
The abandoning child
[Solo]
Fm
I'm nuclear
Cm
I'm wild
Bbm C
I'm breaking Up inside
Fm
A heart of broken glass
Cm
Defiled
Bbm
Deep inside
C
The abandoning child
[Outro]
Bbm
Deep inside
C
The abandoning child
