Tuning: Standard EBGDAE Difficulty: intermediate Miss Atomic Bomb by The Killers Key G, Capo on 3rd fret. G Dsus4 You were standing with your girlfriends in the streets Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9 Em7 A7 Falling back on forever, I wonder what you came to be G Dsus4 I was new in town, the boy with the eager eyes Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9 Em7 A7 I never was a quitter, oblivious to schoolgirls' lies
Cadd9 Em7 When I look back on those neon nights The leather seats, the passage rite I feel the heat, I see the light G Miss Atomic Bomb Dsus4 Making out, we've got the radio on Cadd9 Em7 You're gonna miss me when I'm gone Cadd9 Em7-A7 You're gonna miss me when I'm gone G Racing shadows in the moonlight Dsus4 Through the desert on a hot night Cadd9 Em7 And for a second there we'd won Cadd9 Em7 A7 Yeah, we were innocent and young G Dsus4 Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9 Em7 A7 (2x) G Dsus4 Cast out of the night, well you've got a foolish heart Cadd9 Em7 A7 Em7 A7 So you took your place but the fall from grace was the hardest part G Dsus4 It feels just like a dagger buried deep in your back You run for cover but you can't escape the second attack Cadd9 Em7 Your soul was innocent, she kissed him and she painted it black Cadd9 Em7 A7 You should have seen your little face, burnin' for love Em7-A7 Holdin on' for your life Cadd9 Em7 All that I wanted was a little touch, A little tenderness and truth, I didn't ask for much, no Cadd9 Talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time G Miss Atomic Bomb Dsus4 Making out, we've got the radio on Cadd9 Em7 You're gonna miss me when I'm gone Cadd9 Em7 A7 You're gonna miss me when I'm gone G Racing shadows in the moonlight Dsus4 We're taking chances on a hot night Cadd9 Em7 And for a second there we'd won Cadd9 Em7 A7 Yeah we were innocent and young G The dust cloud has settled, and my eyes are clear But sometimes in dreams of impact I still hear G Dsus4 Miss Atomic Bomb, I'm standing here Cadd9 Sweat on my skin Em7 Cadd9 And this love that I've cradled Em7 A7 G Is wearing thin (Miss Atomic Bomb) Dsus4 Cadd9 But I'm standing here and you're too late Em7 Cadd9 Em7 A7 Your shock-wave whisper has sealed your fate G Dsus4 It feels just like a dagger buried deep in your back (It's so cruel ?) You run for cover but you can't escape the second attack (and you turn your back, you're so) Cadd9 Em7 Your soul was innocent, she kissed him and she painted it black (on a losing game) Cadd9 Em7 A7 You should have seen your little face, burning for love, G (Miss Atomic Bomb) Holdin' on for your life Dsus4 But you can't survive (All that I wanted was a little touch) G Dsus4 When you want it all (A little tenderness and truth, I didn't ask for much) Cadd9 Em7 There's another side (Talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time) THE END!
