[Intro]

D    F  C  G
D    F  C  G


[Verse 1]

D
It breaks like glass, but not in your hand

Shoot you down right where you stand
    Bm                A
And it don't care for what you wear
    G                  D
or which way you might sway


[Verse 2]

D
It calls you up, but not on the phone

And it will drag you from your throne
        Bm              A             G                 D
And you may laugh while you sit there sipping your champagne
    Bm             A            G                  D
And may I laugh at your despair sniffing your cocaine


[Pre-chorus]

      Bm                  A
I'm a man of choice in an old Rolls Royce
        G              D
And I'm howling at the moon
      Bm            A             G
Is my happening too deafening for you? For you?


[Chorus]

              D
Its maybe the fame
                   G     G Dsus4/F#
Its forgotten your name
    Em    G             Em    G     D
The tears you cried you never did explain
      G  Dsus4/F# Em      G       Em         G    D
And I remain,     blowing through you like a hurricane
      D     F C G       D    F C G        D    F C G
Its a shame,      Its a shame,      Its a shame


[Verse 3]

D
It will not fall, not from the sky

And it don't eat no humble pie
    Bm                A
And you may have your quiet life
      G                  D
But I bet you don't know why


[Verse 4]

D
It made you a mess, you didn't believe

You still don't know what makes me breathe
    Bm                  A             G                 D
And you may laugh while you sit there sipping your champagne
    Bm             A                       G               D
And may I laugh at your dispare while your sniffing your cocaine


[Pre-chorus]

      Bm                  A
I'm a man of choice in an old Rolls Royce
        G              D
And I'm howling at the moon
      Bm            A             G
Is my happening too deafening for you? For you?


[Chorus]

              D
Its maybe the fame
                   G     G Dsus4/F#
Its forgotten your name
    Em    G             Em    G     D
The tears you cried you never did explain
      G  Dsus4/F# Em      G       Em         G    D
And I remain,     blowing through you like a hurricane
      D     F C G       D    F C G        D    F C G
Its a shame,      Its a shame,      Its a shame


[Solo]

Em   G  D  A
Em   G  D  A
Em   G  D  A
Em      G


[Chorus]

              D
Its maybe the fame
                   G     G Dsus4/F#
Its forgotten your name
    Em    G             Em    G     D
The tears you cried you never did explain
      G  Dsus4/F# Em      G       Em         G    D
And I remain,     blowing through you like a hurricane
                   G     G Dsus4/F#
Its forgotten your name
   Em       G   Em       G
It sees you cry from the sky
    Em    G     Em        G
You never did explain why I'm still
Em      G           Em     G    Em
Blowing through you like a hurricane
