[Bb] The streets [Eb] are lined with camera [Bb] crews
[Eb] Everywhere [Bb] he goes [Eb] is news
[Db] [Ab] Today is different
[Db] Today is not [Ab] the same
Today [Db] [Ab] I'll make the action
Take snapshot [Db] into the light
[Bb] [Ab] [Db] Snapshot the light [Bb] I'm shooting
[Ab] [Db]
The light
[Gm] Four [C] miles down [Gm] the cavalcade moves on
[F] Driving into the [Bb] sun
[Eb] If [Bb] I worked it out right
They won't [Eb] see me [Bb] or the gun
[Eb]
Two [Gm] [C] miles to go, [Gm] they're clearing the road
[F] And the cheering has really begun
[Bb] No, I got my radio I can [Eb] hear what's [Bb] going [Eb] on
[Dm] [Bb]
[F] [Gm]
[Dm] [Bb] I've [Eb]
[F] [Bbm] been waiting [Gm] for this
[D] [Bb] [Eb]
I [F] will wake up your [G] empty shells
[Dm] Peak time [Eb] fueling low in a flash [F] as I burn into your [Gm] memory cells
[Dm] [Eb]
[F] [G]
Whose eyes
They look around the corner when the bike is burning [F] my wife in the sweat from my eyes
[Bb] It's a matter of [Eb] time
[Bb] [Eb] A matter [Bb] of [Eb] when
[G] And the governor's car is not far [F] behind.
He's not the one I've got in mind
[Bb] [Eb] There he [Bb] is the man [Eb] in the hour
[Bb] I'm shouting [Eb] [Bb] the liberty
[D] I [Bb] [Eb]
[F] don't really [Bb] hate you
[Gm] I don't care [Dm] what you do
[Eb]
We were [F] made for each other [C] me [Gm] and you
[D] I [Bb] wanna be [Eb] somebody
[F] You will like [Gm] that too
You [Dm] don't get even [Eb] you learn to take
[F] I will [G] take you
[Ab] Holding [G] my breath
[Ab] [G]
[Ab] I've been [Bb]
[Ab]
[Eb]
[Dbm] [D]
[Eb] [Bbm] here before
[Eb]
A lonely [Db] [Eb] boy behind [Bbm] [C] [Dbm] the front door
[Eb] [Bbm] Friends [C] have all [Db] gone home
[Eb]
There's my toy [Ab] gun on the floor
[Cm] [Ab]
Come back [Eb] [Ab] [Fm]
dad
[Db] You're [Gm] growing up
You [Ab] know that [Bbm] i'm growing [Db] up sad
[Bbm] I need [C] some [Db] attention
[Eb] [Ab]
I shoot into the light
[Db] [N]
