VERSE 1
A5
Something's on my mind

It's been for quite some time
         G5                       A5
This time I'm on to you

So where's the other face?

The face I heard before
           G5                            A5
Your head trip's boring me

PRE-CHORUS
E5                        G5                     
Let's nuke the bridge we torched
            D5                           A5
Two thousand times before
E5                         G5            D5
This time we'll blast it all to hell
E5                   G5                     D5                         A5
I've had this burning in my guts now for so long
E5               G5                   D5
My belly's aching now to say

VERSE 2
    A5
Stuck down in a rut of dislogic and smut
     G5                        A5
A side of you well hid

When it's all said and done

It's real and it's been fun
          G5                   A5
But was it all real fun?

PRE-CHORUS
E5                        G5                     
Let's nuke the bridge we torched
            D5                           A5
Two thousand times before
E5                         G5            D5
This time we'll blast it all to hell
E5                   G5                     D5                        A5
I've had this burning in my guts now for so long
E5               G5                   D5
My belly's aching now to say

How to read these chord schemes

1 - chord name, 2 - chord designation, 3 - chord scheme

Chord name

There is the name of a chord before the symbols. If it's "*" added to a name, it means that this chord is played in different positions during the song.

Chord designation

There are 6 symbols in a designation, read it from left to right. The first symbol defines the thickest string (6th string), the second symbol defines 5th string and so on.

"0" means open string

"x" means this string isnt played

"Number" means number of a fret.

Example:

x02220

6th string isnt played
5th string is open
4th string is played on 2nd fret
3rd string is played on 2nd fret
2nd string is played on 2nd fret
1st string is open

Chord scheme

Imagine that you are looking at the fret while playing guitar - the closest string to your eyes is the 6th, the thickest string. There are 6 horizontal lines defines strings, the upper one is the thinnest string (1st string).
And there are 4 lines defined frets - no exact frets numbers defined.
In some schemes there is a thick line on the left - it defines the nut.

"0" means open string
"x" means this string isnt played
Fat dots mean fingers positions

Example:

G5 355xxx
