Am7             G/B            C
Walkin down the street to your house,

F              G       F  G F
Thinkin’ ‘bout nuclear war,

Am7          G/B        C   F  G F  G F
Gas mask and sirens and lights . . .

Am7        G/B         C  F       G F  G F
You didn't like me much before this,

    Am7            G/B        C     F    G         F  G F
"We interrupt this episode of Cheers for emergency tests".
[Chorus]
G             Am       C            D         Cadd9  G   Cadd9 G
Sometimes the distance feels like a kiss from afar,

G   Am     C       D     C            G
Radiation, mind-control, nuclear war,

C          C
Nuclear war.
[Verse 2]
Am7          G/B           C
You took the pen from your purse,

F       G                F  G F
And you drew between his eyes,

Am7       G/B      C  F           G            F  G F
A fucking swastika,   just as the train rushed by,

Am7          G/B          C
I hate that poster of his face,

  F             G              F  G F
I see it in the subway all the time,

     Am7             G/B
He’s laughing, we're crying,

     C                 F  G F G F
He's smiling and we’re dying.
[Chorus]
G             Am       C            D         Cadd9  G   Cadd9 G
Sometimes the distance feels like a kiss from afar,

G   Am     C       D     C            G
Radiation, mind-control, nuclear war,

C          C
Nuclear war.

Walking down the street to your house,

F             G       F  G F
Thinkin’ bout nuclear war,

    Am7                G/B            C
And something that you said last night,

F            G      F  G F
You've never said before,

Am7              G/B       C
We don't want to live in a world,

   F                G        F     G F
Controlled by the police and by hate,

      Am7            G/B
We're running out of time,

C          F        G     F G
It's over, it's too late,

           F              Am7
It's over, it's too late.
[Outro] Am7 G Am7
