[Bb] The streets [Eb] are lined with camera [Bb] crews
Everywhere he goes [Eb] is news
[Db] [Ab] Today's different
[Db] Today is not the [Ab] same
[Db] Today I'll [Ab] make the action
Take snapshot [Db] into the light
[Bb] [Ab] Snapshot
[Db] Like [Bb] I'm shooting [Ab]
into [Db] the
Four [Gm] miles [C] down the [Gm]
cavalcade moves [F] on driving into the [Bb] song
[Eb] [Bb] If I worked it out right
They won't [Eb] see me on the [Bb] gun
[Eb] [Gm] Two miles to go
They're clearing the road
[F] And the cheering has really begun
[Bb]
Radio, I can [Eb] hear what's [Bb] going on
[F]
[Gm] [Dm]
[Bb] I've [Eb] [Bbm]
been waiting [Gm] for this
[D] For [Bb] you [Eb] on MTV land
[F] I will wake up your [G] empty shelves
[Dm]
Peak time viewing
[Eb] Blown in a flash
As [F] I burn into your [Gm] memory cells
[Dm] The sound
[Eb]
[F] [G]
Of coming round the corner
When the bikers run
[F] I'm waking in sweat from my eyes
[Bb] It's a matter of time
[Eb] [Bb] [Eb] A matter [Bb] of [Eb] ways
[G] And the governor's car is not far behind
[F] He's not the one I've got in mind
[Bb] This very is the man of the hour
[Eb] Standing in the [Bb] middle seat
[Dm] I [Eb]
don't [F] really [Bb] hate you
[Gm]
I don't care [Dm] what you do
[Eb]
We were made [F] for each [Eb] other
Me [Gm] and you
I [Bb] wanna be [Eb]
somebody
[F] You were like [Gm] that too
You [Dm] don't get me [Eb] but you learn to take
[F] We'll take [G]
you
[Ab] Holding my [G] breath
[Ab] The leash [G]
attached
And [Ab] I let [Bb] go full [Ab] in Blood
[Eb]
[Cm] [Gb] All turn [D] quiet
[Eb] [Db] I've been here before
[Ab] [Db] Alone
Hiding [Ab] [Bbm] behind [Dbm] the front
[Eb]
[Bbm] Friends [C] have [Db] all gone home
[Eb] My toy gun [Ab] on me
Come [Db] [Eb] back
Mom [Fm] and Dad
[Db] You're growing [Gm]
apart
[Ab] You know that [Bbm] I'm growing [Db] upset
I [Bbm]
need [C] [Db] some attention
[Eb]
[Ab] I said hold on to the line
