Tom: A

D        A 
Stop now what's that sound
E
Everybody look what's going down
D        A                 E
Stop now what's that sound


[Pre-Chorus]

       D
I am a timebomb
A                         E
A ticking ticking ticking timebomb
       D
I am a timebomb
A                         E
A ticking ticking ticking timebomb


[Verse]

                  D          A
Unattended on the railway station
                     E
In the litter at the dancehall
                        D            A
Sitting pretty near the fastfood-counter
                     E
In the backseat of a Vauxhall


[Pre-Chorus]

       D
I am a timebomb
A                         E
A ticking ticking ticking timebomb
       D
I am a timebomb
A                         E        E
A ticking ticking ticking timebomb


[Chorus]

D        A 
Stop now what's that sound
E
Everybody look what's going down
D        A                 E
Stop now what's that sound


[Pre-Chorus]

       D
I am a timebomb
A                         E
A ticking ticking ticking timebomb
       D
I am a timebomb
A                         E        
A ticking ticking ticking timebomb


[Verse]

                         D             A
Hear the ticking of your heartbeat beating
                     E
Hear the breaking of their promises
                     D             A
Hear the smashing of your expectations
                      E
Hear the shattering of half-rhymes


[Pre-Chorus]

       D
I am a timebomb
A                         E
A ticking ticking ticking timebomb
       D
I am a timebomb
A                         E        E
A ticking ticking ticking timebomb


[Chorus]

D        A 
Stop now what's that sound
E
Everybody look what's going down
D        A                 E
Stop now what's that sound


[Bridge]

N.C.
Stop now what's that sound
N.C.
Everybody look what's going down
N.C.
Stop now what's that sound
N.C.
Everybody look what's going down
N.C.
Stop now what's that sound
N.C.
Everybody look what's going down
N.C.
Stop now what's that sound
N.C.
Everybody look what's going down
N.C.
Stop now what's that sound
N.C.
Everybody look what's going down
N.C.
Stop


[Chorus]

D        A 
Stop now what's that sound
E
Everybody look what's going down
D        A                 E
Stop now what's that sound


[Pre-Chorus]

       D
I am a timebomb
A                         E
A ticking ticking ticking timebomb
       D
I am a timebomb
A                         E        
A ticking ticking ticking timebomb


[Verse]

            D
And all the timebombs
A                          E
They're all dancing to the same song
                   D
In a world full of no ones
A      E
I am a someone


[Pre-Chorus]

       D
I am a timebomb
A                         E
A ticking ticking ticking timebomb
       D
I am a timebomb
A                         E        E
A ticking ticking ticking timebomb


[Chorus]

D        A 
Stop now what's that sound
E
Everybody look what's going down
D        A                 
Stop now what's that sound
E
Everybody look what's going down
D        A 
Stop now what's that sound
E
Everybody look what's going down
D        A 
Stop now what's that sound
E
London Bridge is falling down
