VERSE 1
  E5           C#m7
Hey, little kid
                 B5                          Asus2
Did you wake up late one day?
                         E5                                   C#m7
You're not so young, but you're still dumb
                     B5                            Asus2
And you're numb to your old glory,
                       E5*
But now it's gone.

PRE-CHORUS
             B5
I fell in love,
           C#5                        A5
But it didn't catch your fall.
               E5                    C#m7
Then I crashed, to a wall
             B5                  A5
Then I fell to pieces on the floor.
                             B5  E
Now you're sick to death.

CHORUS
                   B5
Bombs away!
                    C#m                                 A5
Here goes nothing, the shouting's over.
       B5 E                       B5
Hey X-Kid, bombs away!
                    C#m                                 A5
Here goes nothing, the shouting's over and out,
                       B5 E5
over and out again.

C#m7  B5  Asus2

VERSE 2
  E5                        C#m7                  B5
I once was old enough to know better
             Asus2                     E5
then I was too young to care.
                 C#m7
but who cares?
                     B5                       Asus2                      E5*
I probably would but Hollywood is dead and gone

PRE-CHORUS
                   B5
You fell in love,
               C#5                    A5
but then you just fell apart.
             E5              C#m7
Like a kick in the head,
                 B5
you're an X-Kid and you
  A5                                  B5 E
never even got started again.

CHORUS
                   B5
Bombs away!
                    C#m                                A5
Here goes nothing, the shouting's over.
       B5 E                      B5
Hey X-Kid, bombs away!
                    C#m                                 A5
Here goes nothing, the shouting's over and out,

And you were searching your soul
                                      A5                  E5*  B5
and you got lost and out of control.
                                 A5
You went over the edge of joking,
                        B5   E5
died of a broken heart!

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
