[Intro] A* E (x4) [Verse 1]
        A
As we pulled into town there was a breakdown

        E
As the moonlight hit the town

       A
But it was High Noon in somebody's head

            E
Before the first boot hit the ground

           A
Spent the day in Cincinnati on the cell phone

E                           B
Trying to figure out the expense

A
Stabbing fists into drawn-shade darkness

E
Battered by experience
[Interlude] A* E (x2) [Verse 2]
         A
There's something to be said for hangin' in there

          E
Past the point of hangin' 'round too long

A
Hung out to dry or put away wet

         E                      B
All the same when it all goes wrong

                        C#m
It's all my fault, it's all my fault

          A                              E
When you misconstrue the wonder and the shame

B                 C#m
All over town, my name's passed around

          A                                 E
'Til you can't tell the darkness from the flame

     A                                E
You can't tell the darkness from the flame
[Interlude] A* E (x3) [Verse 3]
   A
I left my car at the airport

     E
And flew to Kansas City in the rain

   A
I know enough to know I'm standing here soaked

         E                B
And the weatherman's to blame

   A
I left the house empty after sunset

      E                              B
With someone else to figure out the stains

   A
I take my responsibility

         E
For the darkness and the pain
[Interlude] A* E (x3) [Chorus]
      B
It's all my fault

      C#m
Everything's my fault

          A                           E
Guess a butcher know how to trim the fat

         B
When it all comes down

     C#m
Armageddon's back in town

     A                              E
You can't tell the rabbit from the hat

     A                              E
You can't tell the rabbit from the hat

     B
The dye has been cast

     C#m
Symbolisms so pronounced

              A                           E
That there's nothing left to wonder or explain

         B
There'll be no healing

         C#m
From the art of double-dealing

A                     E
Armageddon's back in town again

A                     E
Armageddon's back in town again

A                     E
Armageddon's back in town again
[Outro] A* E (x4) B C#m E F#m (x8) E
