TINDERBOX -- ELTON JOHN, "The Captain and the Kid"(2006)

INTRO
E MajorE C# minorC#m | G# minorG#m  |
E MajorE C# minorC#m | G# minorG#m  |

E MajorE        G# minorG#m
Nostradamus said I predict
     C# minorC#m        E/B
That the world will end at half past six
A augmentedA         G7G7     E MajorE
What he didn't say was exactly when
    G+G        A augmentedA  E MajorE
Was he listening to the radio?
    C majorC        B7B7  E MajorE  BB
Was he listening to the government?

VERSE
    E MajorE       G# minorG#m
Well he got us spooked anyway
     C# minorC#m        E/B
We'd been running hot up until today
   A augmentedA          G7G7     E MajorE
But a wind of change blew across our sales
    G+G       A augmentedA    E MajorE
We were coasting on a winning streak
    G+G        A augmentedA   E MajorE
We were kings until the power failed

CHORUS
      D MajorD         F# minorF#m
We've been living in a tinderbox
  B minorBm           D/AD/A
And two sparks can set the whole thing off
G+G          D/F#D/F#
Rubbing up together around the clock
FF               C/EC/E
Lately we've been getting more roll than rock
Eb MajorEb            Bb majorBb C majorC  D MajorD    F# minorF#m
You and me together in a tinderbox (tinderbox)
B minorBm           D/AD/A
Two sparks can set the whole thing off
G+G          D/F#D/F#
Rubbing up together around the clock
FF               C/EC/E
Lately we've been getting more roll than rock
Eb MajorEb            Bb majorBb C majorC  D MajorD
You and me together in a tinderbox

INSTRUMENTAL
E MajorE C# minorC#m | G# minorG#m  |
E MajorE C# minorC#m | G# minorG#m  |

VERSE
E MajorE       G# minorG#m
 Godzilla came in disguise
C# minorC#m              E/B
Tore the building down right before our eyes
A augmentedA        G7G7         E MajorE
 Kept the needle out of the red balloon
    G+G        A augmentedA   E MajorE
Was he worried we might go too far
   G+G        A augmentedA    E MajorE
Maybe wind up rhyming moon and June

VERSE
  E MajorE          G# minorG#m
The sun descends down in Mexico
    C# minorC#m        E/B
While a fancy car back on Savile Row
A augmentedA            G7G7    E MajorE
Shows the price of fame leads to overkill
G+G        A augmentedA    E MajorE
Things are gonna have to change
   G+G        A augmentedA    E MajorE
Some holes along the road get filled

CHORUS
      D MajorD         F# minorF#m
We've been living in a tinderbox
  B minorBm           D/AD/A
And two sparks can set the whole thing off

Rubbing up together around the clock
FF               C/EC/E
Lately we've been getting more roll than rock
Eb MajorEb            Bb majorBb C majorC  D MajorD    F# minorF#m
You and me together in a tinderbox (tinderbox)
B minorBm           D/AD/A
Two sparks can set the whole thing off

FF               C/EC/E
Lately we've been getting more roll than rock
Eb MajorEb            Bb majorBb C majorC  D MajorD E MajorE
You and me together in a tinderbox

BRIDGE
F#F#                  G#G#
Pressure's gonna cook us if we don't unlock it
C# minorC#m         C#m/B
Guns going off if we don't uncock it
   F# minorF#m          G#7G#7
We've gotta climb out of the other one's pocket
     C# minorC#m           C#m/B   A augmentedA   BB
Or we're gonna burn, out on this beautiful rocket

CHORUS
D MajorD   F# minorF#m
