G Dsus4

You were standing with your girlfriends in the streets

Cadd9 Em7 Dsus4 Em7-Cadd9-Em7-Dsus4

Falling back on forever, I wonder what you came to be

G Dsus4

I was new in town, the boy with the eager eyes

Cadd9 Em7 Dsus4 Em7-Cadd9-Em7-Dsus4

I never was a quitter, oblivious to schoolgirls' lies

Cadd9 Em7

When I look back on those neon nights

The leather seats, the passage rite

Cadd9 Em7-Dsus4

I feel the heat, I see the light

G

Miss Atomic Bomb

Dsus4

Making out, we've got the radio on

Cadd9 Em7

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

Cadd9 Em7-Dsus4

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

G

Racing shadows in the moonlight

Dsus4

Through the desert on a hot night

Cadd9 Em7

And for a second there we'd won

Cadd9 Em7-Dsus4

Yeah, we were innocent and young

G Dsus4

Cast out of the night, well you've got a foolish heart

Cadd9 Em7 A7sus4 Em7-Dsus4

So you took your place but the fall from grace was the hardest part

G Dsus4

It feels just like a dagger buried deep in your back

You run for cover but you can't escape the second attack

Cadd9 Em7

Your soul was innocent, she kissed him and she painted it black

Cadd9 Em7-A7sus4

You should have seen your little face, burnin' for love

Em7-Dsus4

Holdin on' for your life

Cadd9 Em7

All that I wanted was a little touch,

A little tenderness and truth, I didn't ask for much, no

Cadd9

Talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time

Miss Atomic Bomb

Making out, we've got the radio on

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

G

Racing shadows in the moonlight

We're taking chances on a hot night

Cadd9 Em7

Yeah we were innocent and young

G

The dust cloud has settled, and my eyes are clear

But sometimes in dreams of impact I still hear

G Dsus4

Miss Atomic Bomb, I'm standing here

Cadd9

Sweat on my skin

Em7 Cadd9

And this love that I've cradled

Em7-Dsus4 G

Is wearing thin (Miss Atomic Bomb)

Dsus4 Cadd9

But I'm standing here and you're too late

Em7 Cadd9 Em7-Dsus4

Your shock-wave whisper has sealed your fate

G Dsus4

It feels just like a dagger buried deep in your back (It's so cruel [?])

You run for cover but you can't escape the second attack (and you turn your back, you're so)

Cadd9 Em7

Your soul was innocent, she kissed him and she painted it black (on a losing game)

Cadd9 Em7-Dsus4

You should have seen your little face, burning for love,

[Verse]

G

(Miss Atomic Bomb) Holdin' on for your life

Dsus4

But you can't survive (All that I wanted was a little touch)

G Dsus4

When you want it all (A little tenderness and truth, I didn't ask for much)

Cadd9 Em7

There's another side (Talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time)
