[Intro]
D A G A D A G A D A G A D A G A
[Verse]
D A G A D A G A
When you climb up that mountain, don't jump off of that cliff
D A G A D A G A
Think how much you'd be missing, and oh how much you'd be missed
Bm G Em G
The crowd is cheering now, they want to see your blood
Bm G Em A D
But you can't hear them now, you're too far above love, now listen to me
[Verse]
D A G A D A G A
There's a moon on Gibraltar, brighter than any sun
D A G A D A G A
Shining on a desert of water, where you can swin but you just can't run
Bm G Em G
The crowd is waiting now, hear them hold their breath
Bm G Em A
There's no wedding anyhow, I watch the bride get undressed
[Chorus]
D G D G D A
No all these years of keeping it in and keep your secrects clean
D G D
But one of these days I'm gonna explode
G D A D
And you'll now what I mean, something like Steve McQueen
[Interlude]
DDDDDDD GGGGGGG DDDDDDD GGGGGGG AAAAAAA AAAAA
D A G A D A G A
[Verse]
D A G A D A G A
There's a face in the future, a memory in the mist
D A G A D A G A
No matter how bad things turn off, don't you ever regret that first kiss
Bm G Em G
The crowd is leaving now, they've had their fill
Bm G Em G
You gave your pound of flesh, but never your will
Bm G Em G
The waters are rising now, you're barred from Noah's ark
Bm G Em G
There's no room for a single now, your love is so far apart
[Chorus]
D G D G D A
Now I don't know if all that's true, but you know what I mean
D G D
One of these days I'm gonna explode
G D A D
From all these things I've seen, something like Steve McQueen
[Outro]
G A D G A D
Something like Steve McQueen, something like Steve McQueen
G A D
Something like Steve McQueen
[Fade and end]
