[Intro]

G+G  D MajorD  FF  C majorC x2


[Verse]

G+G          D MajorD
Where have all the bastards gone?
FF         C majorC      G+G
The underbelly stacks up ten high.
FF           F minorFm
The dummy failed the crash test,
FF        F minorFm
Collecting unemployment checks
FF           C majorC       G+G
Like a flunkie only along for the ride.

G+G           D MajorD
Where have all the riots gone?
FF         C majorC       G+G
As this city's motto gets pulverised.
FF          F minorFm
Whats in love is now in debt,
FF        F minorFm
On your birth certificate.
FF           C majorC         G+G
So strike the fucking match to light this fuse.

C majorC
Oh

G+G              FF
The towns bishop's an extortionist.
G+G              FF
And he dont even know that you exist.
C majorC             D MajorD
Standing still when its do or die.
C majorC              A minorAm  D MajorD
You better run for your fucking life!

[Chorus]

C majorC             A minorAm
Its not over 'till you're underground.
C majorC              G+G
Its not over before its too late.
C majorC       FF
This city's burning,
C majorC      A augmentedA
Its not my burden.
C majorC        FF       A minorAm
Its not over before its too late.

G+G         D MajorD      DmDm
There is nothing left to analyse.

[Verse]

G+G
F minorFm                    A augmentedA       C7C7
Where will all the martyrs go when the virus cures itself?
C7C7           A augmentedA        C2
And where will we all go when its too late?

Youre not the Jesus of Suburbia!

Your fathers rage and your mothers love

This citys burning.

Its not my burden.

Its not over before its too late.
