[Intro]

G   D   F    C x2


[Verse]

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

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


C
Oh

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

[Chorus]

C                          Am
Its not over 'till you're underground.
C                           G
Its not over before its too late.
C             F
This city's burning,
C            A
Its not my burden.
C               F             Am
Its not over before its too late.

G                  D           Dm
There is nothing left to analyse.


[Verse]

G
Fm                                       A             C7
Where will all the martyrs go when the virus cures itself?
C7                     A                C2
And where will we all go when its too late?

G                F
And dont look back!

G  F
G
Youre not the Jesus of Suburbia!

Your fathers rage and your mothers love
G                  G F C
Made me the idiot America!


[Chorus]

C                          Am
Its not over 'till you're underground
C                         G
Its not over before its too late.
C            F
This citys burning.
C             A
Its not my burden.
C           F              Am
Its not over before its too late.
