[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?


[Instrumental]

G  F  C F

G        F
And dont look back!

G F
G
Youre not the Jesus of Suburbia!
F
The Saint Jimmy is a figment of
C
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.
