[C#m] will just [A]
explode.
[B]
[E]
You lived [C#m] in your [E]
imagination, [C#m]
you [E] [A]
blew up [B] in the roof.
I'm talking to you, and to you over there, and to you over there.
[A] You were riding in your car in San [E]
Francisco.

on.
So, [E]
if [C#m] you have some [E]
information, [C#m]
squeeze [E] through [A]

A [B]
[E]
boy's gotta [C#m]
go just where your [E] foot hits [C#m] the ground, [E]
or he will [C#m]
turn to [A]
steam.
[E]
And if [C#m] he does, you must [E] forget him, [C#m] well, [A]
unless you want him crawling through [B] your dreams.
And I'm talking to you.
I can talk, I can hear, well, what more do you want?
[A] Riding in your car in San [E] Francisco.
[A] Riding through the weather [Em] and [E] the rain.
[A] Riding in your car in [E] San Francisco.
But [F#] we're never gonna ride that way [Bm] [A] again.
[B]
We've all [A] got a break in us.
[E]
Somewhere [B] down the road.
Somewhere down the road.
I don't know [A] about you, Fox-Bot.
[E]
This bridge will [B] explode.
[F#]
[A] [B]
[E] A man's [C#m] gotta know his [E]
limitations.
[C#m]
Bridge.
