  and the blackout seems so far away
Em
  even though it was only yesterday
C
  even though it was only yesterday...

CHORUS
G
  there'll be no explosions tonight
A
  no matter how hard i try
D#
  and how will i remain upright
C
  as you walk on by?

INTERLUDE

we were shaking down the reptile house (we were shaking, yeah we were shaking)
bottle rockets, without a doubt
and the blood sweat shivers running through these veins
it kills me to know some things will never be the same

BRIDGE
C
  and the reflex seems so far away
Em
  even though it was only yesterday
C
  even though it was always yesterday

CHORUS
G
  there'll be no explosions tonight
A
  no matter how hard i try
D#
  and how will i remain upright
C
  as you walk on by?

G
  there'll be no explosions tonight
A
  no matter how hard i try
D#
  and how will i remain upright?
C
  let's just walk on by

BRIDGE 2
     A                  C
it's all or nothing at all
              Em
or nothing at all
     A                 C
it's all or nothing at all
              Em
or nothing at all

Em  Eadd9  Em  Eadd9  Em  x3

you always said that it was just for kicks
but blue baby needs another fix
i want a lift and now these broken bones
N.C.
that ache just enough to remind me that i'm alone

CHORUS
G
  there'll be no explosions tonight
A
  no matter how hard i try
D#
  and how will i remain upright
C
  as you walk on by?

G
  there'll be no explosions tonight
A
  no matter how hard i try
D#
  and how will i remain upright?
C
  you're just walking by
