INTRO (freely)
Asus4/E          Dsus2/F#          Asus4/E
 The streets are lined with camera crews
Asus4/E D add#11/F# Asus4/E D
   Everywhere he    goes is news
C          Gmaj7/B
  Today is different
  C              Gmaj7/B
Today is not the same
  C add#11       G/B
Today I make the action
     Am       G/B      C
Take snapshot into the light
Am       G/B      C
Snapshot into the light
    Am       G/B      C
I'm shooting into the light


VERSE
F#m        F#sus4        F#m        F#sus4
Four miles down the cavalcade moves on
E   Esus4         E    Esus4
 Driving into the sun
A  Asus4    A             Asus4
       If I worked it out right
     A         Asus4     A    Asus4
They won't see me or the gun

F#m          F#sus4      F#m          F#sus4
Two miles to go, they're clearing the road
    E            Esus4    E    Esus4
The cheering has really begun
A  Asus4           A   Asus4
       I've got my radio
      A           Asus4     A  Asus4
I can hear what's going on


BRIDGE
| C#m D | E                       F#m
            I've been waiting for this
| C#m D | E                       F#m
  I         have been waiting for this
C#m               D
All you people in TV land
       E                   F#m
I will wake up your empty shells
C#m               D
Peak-time viewing blown in a flash
     E                     F#m
As I burn into your memory cells
   | C#m D | E | F#m | % |
'Cos I'm       alive


VERSE
        F#m
They're coming 'round the corner with the bikers at the front
    E
I'm wiping the sweat from my eyes
A     Asus4       A   Asus4
 It's a matter of time,
A     Asus4       A   Asus4
 It's a matter of will

        F#m
And the governor's car is not far behind
     E
He's not the one I've got in mind
A           Asus4       A           Asus4
 'Cos there he is - the man of the hour
A           Asus4    A   Asus4
Standing in the limousine


BRIDGE
| C#m D |              E
       "I don't really hate you
F#m                    C#m
 I don't care what you do
D                      E
 We were made for each other
       F#m
Me and you
C#m               D
 I want to be somebody
E                   F#m
 You were like that too
       C#m                 D
If you don't get given you learn to take
    E           F#m
And I will take you."


TURNING POINT
G            F#m
  Holding my breath
G             F#m
  Release the catch
G        G       A      C/D
   And I let the bullet fly


CODA (freely; letters not capitalized indicate single notes only)
b   c      c#    d
                          Em
All turned quiet - I have been here before
             e c f# g d    b a    g   b (triplets)
  C                 G        Am       G/B   C
A lonely boy        hiding behind the front door
Am           G/B      C
Friends have all gone home
C/D                           G
    There's my toy gun on the floor

G         Bm      Em
Come back Mum and Dad
       C        G/B
You're growing apart
    Am            G/B        C
You know that I'm growing up sad
  Am          C
I need some attention
D Dsus4  D Dsus4                   G
                  I shoot into the light
