Dm(maj7) xx0221
Riffs:
A riff:
E riff:
00-02-3-| repeat
Bridge:
A5 A riff
It was 3 AM when I heard the sound
E riff
Stuck my head outside and I looked around
In the echo the car alarms ringing
(maj7)
The sense that something terrible had happened again
(maj7)
Cut the lights and put the TV on
And they said that Michigan was gone
Gone for good
And now I'm waiting for the big boom
It knows where I'm gonna be
The big boom
I'm always getting closer to
The big boom
And it will catch up to me
(maj7)
The big boom
A riff
There are few safe places left today
E riff
Every night they come and take one away
Early on we believed we had a chance
(maj7)
Now there's no one who thinks that way anymore
(maj7)
And the infrastructure's coming down
And the government went underground
Gone for good
And now I'm waiting for the big boom
It knows where I'm gonna be
The big boom
I'm always getting closer to
The big boom
And it will catch up to me
(maj7)
The big boom
A5 A riff
Only move by night, only move alone
E riff
Keep the fires low and stay off the phone
Keep on moving or stay right where you are
(maj7)
What's the difference, it's only a matter of time
(maj7)
And one by one the cities fall
Soon there won't be anything at all
Gone for good
And now I'm waiting for the big boom
It knows where I'm gonna be
The big boom
I'm always getting closer to
The big boom
And it will catch up to me
(maj7)
The big boom
