[Verse 1]
Dm Bb/D C/D C#dim/D Dm Dm Bb/D C/D C#dim/D Dm The fuse is set and checked once more. Then left beside a back street door.

And in the cold grey light -

Em C/E D/E D#dim/E Em And it's madness, every time a vic - tim dies. Em C/E D/E D#dim/E Em D C D There is madness, burning in a blind man's eyes. Em C/E D/E D#dim/E Em D C D And it's madness, hidden in the hate and pain. Em C/E D/E D#dim/E Em D C D There is madness, burning in a wild man's brain. Em C/E D/E D#dim/E Em D C D And it's madness, every time the bul - lets start. Em C/E D/E D#dim/E Em D C D There is madness, burning in a poor man's heart. Em C/E D/E D#dim/E Em D C D And it's madness, something that we can't con - troll. Em C/E D/E D#dim/E Em D C D There is madness, burning in a mad - man's soul. Madness.
