Verse 1
[G] [Cadd9] [Dsus4] [Em7] [A7sus]
Verse 1
[G]
[G]You were standing with your girlfriends in[Dsus4] the streets
[Cadd9]Falling back on[Em7] [Dsus4]forever, I wonder what [Em7]you [Cadd9]came [Em7]to be[Dsus4]
[G]I was new in town, the boy with the eager [Dsus4]eyes
[Cadd9]I never was a [Em7]quitter, [Dsus4]oblivious to [Em7][Cadd9]schoolgirls' [Em7]lies[Dsus4]
[Cadd9]When I look back on those neon [Em7]nights
The leather seats, the passage rite
[Cadd9]I feel the heat, I see the [Em7][Dsus4]light
Chorus
[G]Miss Atomic Bomb
Making out, [Dsus4]we've got the radio on
[Cadd9]You're gonna miss me when [Em7]I'm gone
[Cadd9]You're gonna miss me when [Em7]I'm [Dsus4]gone
[G]Racing shadows in the moonlight
Through [Dsus4]the desert on a hot night
[Cadd9]And for a second there we'd [Em7]won
[Cadd9]Yeah, we were innocent and [Em7]young[Dsus4]
Palm Muted Rythm Guitar
G - Bm - Cadd9 - Em7 - Cadd9 - Em7 Dsus4 x2
Verse 2
[G]Cast out of the night, well you've got a foolish[Dsus4] heart
[Cadd9]So you took your place but [Em7]the fall from grace was the [A7sus4]hardest part[Em7]
[Dsus4]
[G]It feels just like a dagger buried deep in your [Dsus4]back
You run for cover but you can't escape the second attack
[Cadd9]Your soul was innocent, she kissed him and she[Em7] painted it black
[Cadd9]You should have seen your little face, burnin' [Em7]for [A7sus4]love
[Em7][Dsus4]Holdin on' for your life
[Cadd9]All that I wanted was a [Em7]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
Chorus
[G]Miss Atomic Bomb
Making [Dsus4]out, we've got the radio on
[Cadd9]You're gonna miss me when I'm[Em7] gone
[Cadd9]You're gonna miss me when I'm[Em7] [Dsus4]gone
[G]Racing shadows in the moonlight
[Dsus4]We're taking chances on a hot night
[Cadd9]And for a second there we'd won[Em7]
[Cadd9]Yeah we were innocent and [Em7]young[Dsus4]
Bridge
[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 [Dsus4]here
[Cadd9]Sweat on my skin
And this [Em7]love that I've [Cadd9]cradled
Is wearing [Em7]thin [Dsus4](Miss Atomic Bomb)[G]
Outro
But I'm standing here [Dsus4]and you're too late[Cadd9]
[Em7]Your shock-wave [Cadd9]whisper has [Em7]sealed [Dsus4]your fate
[G](It feels just like a dagger buried deep in your back)[Dsus4]
It's a proving ground
[G](You run for cover but you can't escape the second[Dsus4] attack)
and you turn it to chance
[Cadd9](Your soul was innocent, she kissed him and she [Em7]painted it black)
N.C.
on a loser's game
[Cadd9](You should have seen your little face, burning [Em7]for [Dsus4]love,)
[G](Miss Atomic Bomb....... Holdin' on for your life)
But you can't survive
[G](All that I wanted was a little [Dsus4]touch)
When you want it all
[G](A little tenderness and truth, I[Dsus4] didn't ask for much)
There's another side
[Cadd9](Talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong [Em][D]time)[G]
