X12

[Verse 1]
G#m                     B/F#
Tonight the streets are red
    G#m                          B/F# G#m
The lights are blue and blinding
                      B/F#
No sign of the "Good Doctor,"
G#m                      B/F#
But the siren's wail and whining
E                G#m/E  E  G#m/E
Tell us he'll be found

G#m         B/F#

[Bridge]
G#m            B/F#     E      G#m/E   E   G#m/E
  I can almost hear the hounds...

G#m         B/F#
G#m         B/F#

[Verse 2]
G#m                      B/F# G#m                   B/F#
What kind of man builds a ma-chine to kill a girl?
      G#m
No he did not use his hands
       B/F# G#m                    B/F#
Like a smart man, he used a tool
             E  G#m/E
But just the same
E              G#m/E             G#m
   How can you question who's to blame?
      B/F#    G#m
(What was her name?)
                     B/F#
Doesn't matter, now listen-
C#m  B/D#  D#/G           D#7/A#         G#m   B/F#
                "The Good Doctor" has to pay!

G#m       B/F#
G#m       B/F#


[Verse 3]
       G#m
When I say he was a monster
B/F#   G#m
When I set fire to his name
B/F#        G#m
It does not matter where you hear it from
B/F#    G#m
Whether truth or lies
                     E   G#m/E   E  G#m/E
It gets said all the same

G#m   B/F#

[Bridge 2]
G#m                     B/F#  C#m
      Whatever's on the table plays!

[Verse 4]

G#m         B/F#
G#m         B/F#
G#m         B/F#
G#m
      B/F# G#m
There is a flame that I've been fanning
      B/F# G#m
There is a fire waiting to catch
      B/F# G#m
There is a hell that has been building
B/F#     G#m
From the moment we first met.
B/F#     G#m
If there ever was a time
B/F#     G#m
If there ever was a chance
B/F#  G#m
To un-do the things I've done
    B/F#       G#m
And wash these bloodstains from my hands
B/F#   G#m
It has passed and been forgotten
B/F#          G#m
These are the paths that we must take
B/F#          G#m
Cause you and I, Tom, we are men
    B/F#   G#m
And we can bend and we can break
B/F#   G#m
If you think that you can run
B/F#   G#m
If you think that you can stand
     B/F#    G#m                      B/F#
Well you for-get who turned this city on
        G#m
You for-get who plugged this city in!

E      G#m/E   E   G#m/E
G#m                         B/F#  E
      They'll not switch it off a-gain

G#m/E   E   G#m/E

G#m                     B/F#   E
     One by one they're tuning in

E      G#m/E   E   G#m/E
E      G#m/E   G#m  B/F#

[Outro]

G#m
Repeat until fade
