[Intro 1]
[G][Dm][Bb][Ab][Absus2][Ab]
[Bb]

[Verse 1]
[G]Turn
off [F]the TV and [Bb]turn off [C]the light
[Eb]Turn off [F]the street lamps as [C]well
[G]Turn off the bill[F]boards
[Bb]that scream through the [C]night
And [Eb]dream the po[Dm]licemen [G]to hell

[Verse 2]
[G]Close all the [F]windows and
[Bb]close all [C]the doors
[Eb]Close all the [F]shutters and [C]blinds
[G]Close down the [F]churches
and [Bb]pray to [C]the whores
[Eb]Lay down a[Dm]nd then close your e[G]yes

[Verse 3]
It's [Bb]amazing what [Eb]comes into [F]view
As we're [Bb]finally [Eb]breakin'
[F]the chains
When the [Bb]temperature [Eb]rises
We'll [F]go to our [Dm]place in [G]the rain
[Bb]

[Interlude 1]
[G][Bb][G][Gsus4][G]

[Verse 4]
[G]Take down the pic[F]tures
and [Bb]take out [C]the trash
[Eb]Take up the [F]tattered old [C]rugs
[G]Take up the mat[F]tress and
[Bb]count all [C]the cash
And [Eb]laugh with the [Dm]last of the [G]drugs

[Verse 5]
[G]Burn all the pa[F]pers and
[Bb]burn all [C]the wood
[Eb]Burn what we can[F]'t under[C]stand
[G]Run up [F]a flag for the [Bb]old neighbor[C]hood
[Eb]Sit back a[Dm]nd then take my [G]hand

[Verse 6]
'Cause it's [Bb]amazing
what lov[Eb]ers can [F]do
With just a [Bb]kiss and [Eb]a glass
[F]of champagne
When the [Bb]rivers run [Eb]dry
We can [F]go to our [Dm]place in the rain

[Interlude 2]
[G][Bb][G]
[Bb][G][Dm]
[Bb][Ab][Absus2][Ab]
[Bb]

[Verse 7]
[G]Pay off [F]the piper and [Bb]pay all [C]the bills
[Eb]Pay for the [F]getaway [C]car
[G]Blow out [F]the candles and
[Gm]head [Bb]for t[C]he hills
[Eb]Pray that we [Dm]make it that [G]far

[Verse 8]
[G]Run from [F]the poison and
[Bb]run from t[C]he flames
[Eb]Run from the mad[F]dening c[C]rowd
[G]Laugh at [F]the whispers of
[Bb]who'll take [C]the blame
And [Eb]sing all the sin[Dm]ners out [G]loud

[Verse 9]
It's [Bb]amazing what [Eb]crazy can [F]do
When [Bb]every good cit[Eb]izen's [F]sane
When [Bb]heaven's [Eb]a desert
We'll [F]go to our [Dm]place in the rain

[Interlude 3]
[G][Bb]
[Eb][F][Bb][Eb][F][Bb][Eb][F]
[Dm][G][C]
[Bb]It's

[Verse 10]
amazing what [Eb]comes
into [F]view
When you [Bb]just connect your
[Eb]heart back to your [F]brain
When [Bb]heaven's [Eb]a desert
We'll [F]go to our [Dm]place in the rain
