[Verse 1]
Cm                             Bb
There was an earthquake on the Fourth of July
G                        C      Bbsus2
Something inside you was shaken by that
F                          Bb
Fireworks display over the mountainside
    F                  Am              Bb                 Am
You couldn't get those swingin' lights out of your mind

[Chorus]
    Gm         C
But don't cry, demolition baby
Cm                Bb
Always blowin' it up
    D         Eb
And getting so stuck
                 Bb
Both hands in the dirt

[Verse 2]
      Cm                     Bb
Well, I heard they tore that factory down
G                            C    Bbsus2
Only thing that big you felt safe around, the
F                    Bb
Beauty in all that machinery
F          A       Bb
Pumping in all its autonomy
               Am
It calmed your mind
              Gm     C
It showed you time

[Chorus]
    Gm         C
But don't cry, demolition baby
Cm                Bb
Always blowin' it up
    D          Eb
And getting so stuck

[Bridge]
Gm        C
I see you diggin' a foundation
Cm                          Bb
Waiting for the world to go by
       D             Eb
So you might as well try
                  Bb
Both hands in the dirt
       F             Eb
So you might as well try
                  Bb           F             Eb
Both hands in the dirt (So you might as well try)
                  Bb           F             Eb
Both hands in the dirt (So you might as well try)
                  Bb           F             Eb
Both hands in the dirt (So you might as well try)
Both hands in the dirt
