F D   x2
F D   -with riff-

F                                D
Oh, baby -- this is the land of danger
               (each and every home a battlefield)
F                                      D
Oh, baby -- this is the throat of a stranger
        (searching for the blood that's now congealed)
F                                  D
Oh, baby -- this is a thick muddy mystery
               (tearing at the pages of our past)
F                                         D
Oh, baby -- this is the straight path of history
               (human motion -- land and ocean)

  D*    F   D*  F
Try to run,
  D*    F   D*  F
try to hide
             Bbm                               G
It's been a long, long, long, long long, long time
             Bbm                               G
It's been a long, long, long, long long, long time

F D   x2

F                                      D
Oh, baby -- this is the fresh flesh of anger
               (calling out for action in the streets)
F                                   D
Oh, baby -- this is a slow running canker
               (opened up by victories and defeats)
F                                     D
Oh, baby -- this is the night of the dancer
               (dancing on a time bomb in my head)
F                                 D
Oh, baby -- this is the ultimate cancer
               (human notion -- fear in motion)

  D*    F   D*  F
Try to run,
  D*    F   D*  F
try to hide
             Bbm                               G
It's been a long, long, long, long long, long time
             Bbm                               G
It's been a long, long, long, long long, long time

F D   x2

G
                                      A             G
Don't tell me everything's gonna work out anymore
                                      A
Don't tell me everything's gonna work out anymore
    D*         Am         D*         Am      G
Of danger, of danger, of danger, of danger
                                      A -stop-
Don't tell me everything's gonna work out
