_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ It stands [Dm] out on the [F] highway _ _ _ Like [Em] _
_ _ _ a creature from another [Am] _ time
It [C] _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ inspires [Dm] the baby's questions [E] _ _ [Dm] _ _
[G] For _ _ _ their [C] mothers as they ride _ _ _
[Dm] But _ _ _ _ _ no one [Em] stopped to think about the _ babies Or [C] _ _ how _ they would [Dm] survive _ _ _ _
And [G] we've _ [Fm] almost [B] _ lost [F] each _ _ [C] other _ _ _ [Dm] This time, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ how will we ever get [Am] _ over _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ Losing _ _ _ _ [Am] our _ minds _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
Just 30 [Dm] miles from Detroit _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Em] Stands a giant [C] power station _ _
Ticks [A] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [Am] _
_ [G] each [F] night as the city _ _ sleeps _ [Em] For _ _ _ _ seconds from [Am] _ annihilation _
_ But _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ no one stopped [G] to think about the people _ _ _ [Em] _ Or _
_ [C] how they would [Dm] survive _
_ And _ _ [Em] we've [F]
almost _ lost [Am] _ Detroit _
[C] _ _ _ This [B] _ _
time, _ _ _ [Dm] how _ _ _ _ will we [Am] ever get over
_ [C] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ Losing [Am] our _ _ minds
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ The [Dm] Sheriff of Monroe County had _ I [Am] _
_ [Em] sure enough _ disasters [Am] on his mind
_ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ And what would [Dm] Karen Silkwood say to you _ _ [Em]
If _ _ _ she [Am] was still alive
_ _ [Dm] That _ _ _ _ _ when it comes to [Em] people's safety _ _ _ _ [Am] Money _ _ _ wins [F] out every _ [Dm] _ time
_ And we've almost _ lost _ [F]
Detroit _ [C] _ _ This _ [B] _
time, _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ how _ _ will we ever [C] get _ over
_ _ _ [Dm] _
Over _ _ _ losing our [C] _ minds
You _ _ _ _ see, _ [Am] we've almost lost Detroit _ _ _ That _ [F#] time, _ _ we've almost [C] lost Detroit
_ _ _ That _
[F#] _ time, _ _ how will we [Am] ever get _ over _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ Cause I [F#] thought _ we were [C] gonna lose somewhere _ _ one _
[Em] [F#] time
_ _ _ _ [C] We're gonna lose somewhere _ _ _ sometime
_ _ _ How will we ever get _ over _ _ losing [Bm] our [F#] minds
How will we ever [C] get _ over _ _ losing our [F#] minds
And in the end they [C] _ decide _ _ _ _
Almost [Bm] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ lost [C] Detroit
_ _ That _ _
[Bm] time, [F#] and they totally _
[C] destroyed
_ _ One [Am] _ [Bm] _
time, _ [F#] _ and all over the world I know
_ Say, didn't you [Bm] know
_ _ [Am] All over the [C] world I know
Say, [Bm] didn't you know
[F#] When _ almost lost [C] Detroit
_ Yeah, _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] totally
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
