Well, you blew your cover too many times
B             E     B             E         A
One for the moment, why don't you give me a sign
F#                    B    E   B  E
Come on, give me some time,        yeah
B        E        B               E
You feel departed, 'cause no one's trying
B            E       B      E           A
And no one's buying, electrifying their own
F#                  B      E   B  E
And you feel like a change

On the raceway, it's a touché
E      G#m      E                             E: |2 4 5 0 2 4 5 7
Violet stingray, you got to get out, oh

B  E    A              D                         {Bars  B E A D}

Ooh,   you got to rockaway, rockaway

Verse resume:
B       E      B      E
Fairies fumble in the night, ha
B       E           B            E           A
Rockets stumble, it feels like a bumble shot flight
F#           B      E   B   E
Ooh, it's so tight, yeah, yeah
B                   E      B           E
'Cause your time in taken, the metal's flaking
B         E        B   E           A
Heads are shaking, oh, you're in a bash
F#               B    E  B            E
Oh, you're gonna crash    gonna crash, 'cause

G#m            E                 G#m                ^^ ^^ ^^
In a nutshell, there's a real hell
               E             
In a bombshell, in an inkwell
G#m               E                          E: |2 4 5 0 2 4 5 7
Gets hard to tell, yeah

yeah, yeah    You got to rockaway, rockaway
B  E    A              D                         {Bars  B E A D}

You got to rockaway, rockaway, uh!
