Hurricane Years

F#m                A     B
F#m                A     B
F#m                A     B
F#m                A     B

[Verse 1]
F#m                A     B
    I got a ticket to nowhere
F#m                       A   B
    I got no respect for the law
F#m                  A        B
    I got no use 'cause it's all abuse
        D        E           F#m
It's the cutting edge of the saw
F#m                    A       B
    Ain't got no time for the future
F#m                    A       B
    Ain't got no time for the past
F#m                   A    B
    I'm running up a down escalator
D           E       F#m
  I'm going nowhere fast
A                        B
  I'm hanging on like a spider
E                 F#m
  Blowing in the wind
A                     B
  This storm's gonna tear a hole
 C#
Right thru this web I'm in

[Chorus]
  E      B
Thunder lightning
     D               A
The wind outside is so damn frightening
         E         B                 D
But it's alright, all right, stand clear
        A                       F#m    A B
You're living in the hurricane years
                   F#m     A B
In the hurricane years

[Verse 2]
G#m                    B    C#
    I've been through major destruction.
G#m                        B      C#
    I've seen through terrorists' eyes.
G#m                  B   C#
    Sometimes I feel no emotion.
E                F#            G#m
    Sometimes I break down and cry.
G#m                B    C#
    I need to walk on a wire
G#m             B     C#
    I need a layer of skin
G#m             B     C#
    I need a preacher breathing fire
E             F#      G#m
    To burn away my sins
B                        C#
    And I can't help the victims
F#                     G#m
    on the side of the road
B                        C#
    And I can't stop the cyclone
D#
    that's about to explode

[Chorus]
  F#     C#
Thunder lightning
     E               B
The wind outside is so damn frightening
         F#        C#                E
But it's alright, all right, stand clear
        B                       G#m    B C#
You're living in the hurricane years
                   G#m     B C#
In the hurricane years

[Bridge]
(solo in ionian Db)
Bbm
Turn my eyes to heaven
Ebm
Watching all the clouds roll by
Bbm
I see the blood moon rising
D
I know I'm way too young to die

[Chorus]
  G      D
Thunder lightning
     F              C
The wind outside is so damn frightening
         G        D
But it's alright, all right
        F
Stand clear
        C                       Am    C D
You're living in the hurricane years
                  Am    C  D
In the hurricane years
[Verse 1]
Am                  C     D
    I got a ticket to nowhere
Am                    C       D
    I got no respect for the law
Am                  C         D
    I got no use 'cause it's all abuse
        F         G           Am
It's the cutting edge of the saw
