Verse

Not [Bm]tonight, not tonight
Honey[A] I, am on fire
I can't [G]feel a single thing but the weight of the [D]wires
[Bm] Cracking electric [A]line
Remember baby we were a [G]stone
And we would sleep where we've [D]fallin'

Pre-Chorus

We would [Bm]fight about it [F#](fight about it!)
We would [G]fight about it [A](fight about it!)
We [Bm]laughed about it [F#](laughed about it!)
And we [G]ride on, ride on
[A]Ferris wheel lights on!

Chorus

[D] I've never felt so [A]strange
Standing in the Jersey[Bm] rain
Thinking about what an [G]old man said
Maybe I should call me an [D]ambulance

Maybe I should call me an ambulance

N-n-not [Bm]tonight, not tonight
Honey [A]I, am on fire
If we [G]don't go through, they're gonna bury [D]us alive
It is [Bm]great, all of this
Or just [A]what, might have been
Where we could [G]take a seat at the bar with the other broken [D]heroes

Pre-Chorus

Where they [Bm]talk about it [F#](talk about it!)
Just [G]talk about it [A](talk about it!)
Do [Bm]nothing 'bout it [F#](nothing 'bout it!)
[G]Ride on, ride on
[A]Ferris wheel lights on!

Chorus

[D] I've never felt so [A]strange
Standing in the Jersey [Bm]rain
Thinking about what an [G]old man said
Maybe I should call me an [D]ambulance
I've never felt so [A]strange
Standing in the pounding [Bm]rain
Thinking about what my [G]mother once said
Maybe I should call me an ambulance
(Keep playing D,A,Bm,G 'til the end)
I've never felt so strange
Standing in the Jersey rain
Thinking about what wagin' Matty said
Maybe I should call me an ambulance
Maybe I should call me an ambulance
I've never felt so strange
Standing in the Jersey rain
Thinking about what an old man said
Maybe I should call me an ambulance
I've never felt so strange
Standing in the pounding rain
Thinking about what my momma always said
Maybe I should call me an ambulance
Carnival lights!
4th of July!
Boy won't talk!
In the dead of the night!
Always made you smile!
Always made you smile!
Always made you smile!
