[G]The dust cloud has settled, and my eyes are clear, but sometimes in dreams of impact I still hear [G]Miss Atomic Bomb, I’m standing [D]here, [C]sweat on my skin And this [Em]love that I’ve [C]cradled, is wearing [Em]thin [D](Miss Atomic Bomb) [G] But I’m standing here [D]and you’re too [C]late, your [Em]shock-wave [C]whisper has sealed [Em]your [D]fate

[G]It feels just like a dagger buried deep in your back [D](It’s so cruel [?]) You run for cover but you can’t escape the second attack (and you turn your back, you’re so) [C]Your soul was innocent, she kissed him and she [Em]painted it black (on a losing game) [C]You should have seen your little face, burning for [Em]love, [D]

[G](Miss Atomic Bomb) holding on for your life [D]But you can’t survive (All that I wanted was a little touch) [G]When you want it all (A little tenderness and truth, I [D]didn’t ask for much) [C]There’s another side (Talk about being at the wrong [Em]place at the wrong time)
