E
Watch me jumpstart as the old skin is peeled

F#
See an opening and bust into the field

B                  A
Hidden longings no longer concealed

E F# A F# E E F# A F# E

E
Watch me bulldoze every bulldozer away

F#
Each new obstacle from each old new day

B                       A
Where it's going, it's hard for me to say

E F# A F# E E F# A F# E [Chorus]

E                Am Asus2
And shoot me down

E               Am
And bring me down

       C#m
But I won't be around

       F#
As you run through the places you love

       E
I'll remember the faces that cry

             Am
And they're pulling me back so I have to die

[Verse 2]

E
And watch me jumpstart at the first light of day

F#
Each new sensation just blows me away

B                          A
Don't look now, don't look now, I'm a phase

E F# A F# E E F# A F# E

E
Straight from ground zero, X marks the spot

F#
I can't pretend to be something I'm not

B                        A
'Cause I'm a supernova, erect and white hot

E F# A F# E E F# A F# E [Chorus]

E                Am Asus2
And shoot me down

E               Am
And bring me down

               C#m
But I won't be around

       F#
As you run through the places you love

       E
I'll remember the faces that cry

             Am
And they're pulling me back so I have to die

[Verse 3]

E
And watch me jumpstart, I'm Maximum Jack

F#
Shot through the cosmos like an alien attack

B               A
Film finished, fade into black

[Outro] E F# A F# E (x4)
