Verse 
Em 
the blackest storm i ever saw 

       C          Am 
was coming in from omaha 

Em 
and the latest news from tokyo was 

C            Am 
a lot of ugly numbers 

Em 
i was checkin' pay phones for forgotten coins 

            C           Am 
as the clouds came over west des moines 

Em 
got into the house got the curtains drawn 

C                            Am 
got into the the shower with all my clothes on

Verse 

Em 
by noon it was clear that winter'd come 

C                  Am 
and i just let the water run 

Em 
and i got soap suds in my eyes 

C                 Am 
and it stung like iodine 

Em 
the phone started ringing like a fire alarm 

C                                Am 
and the voice on the machine was brutally calm 

Em 
new numbers coming down the wire 

C                           Am 
got into the shower with my eyes on fire

Em 
hey! hey! let it fall on me, 

G                    D 
let it all come down relentlessly! 

Em 
you swore that you would stick around 

G                           D 
when days like this started coming down! 

Em                    G   D 
break out the crystal! 

Em                          G    D 
get out the good champagne! 

Em              G    D 
we're going down 

Em             G     D 
in flames.
