Mushroom Cloud

F              D
I'm haunted by
F            D
My telephone
            F               Gbm
You left me standing on the corner
       Gm              A          Dm
Like a harlot waiting for your call

       F
Out of spite
             Dm
As though the price
          F
Is rarely right
         Gm                       C
There's nothing like a little contempt
           Gm                  C
To drive a man right over his edge
      A                     Bb
Doing things he'll later regret

[Instrumental]
C Gm A

[Chorus]
Bb               C                   Gm   A
 Sometimes I get carried away in the moment
Bb                C                   Gm    A F
 Sometimes I get carried away in the moment

[Verse 2]
F            D
My curtain call
F           D
Cue the lights
         F          Gbm
I walked in to your party
        Gm           A     Dm
A rabid dog looking for a fight

       F
I made you cry
Gm                        C
Nothing quite clears the room
       Gm                            C
Like a lunatic who's got nothing to lose
            A
Oh and when any excuse will do

[Instrumental]
Bb C Gm A

[Chorus]
Bb              C                    Gm   A
 Sometimes I get carried away in the moment
Bb              C                    Gm   A
 Sometimes I get carried away in the moment
Bb               C          N.C
 Sometimes I get carried away

[Verse 3]
Cm             F                   Cm
And sorry's a worn-out sleight of hand
               F              Gm
And love is a dried up wilderness
                      C
You'll know where to find me, oh
Gm                C
 On the fallen horizon

[Outro]
F              Dm
I'm your atom bomb
F                Dm
Don't call my bluff
                F             Gbm           Gm
If you keep me waiting for a crumb off your table
         A        Dm
I might self destruct

            F
And I'll become
           Dm
A ray of light
                     F
Through the mushroom cloud
