E          E/C#
Hey, little kid 
        E/B              E/A
Did you wake up late one day and 
                E                     E/C#
You're not so young, but you're still dumb 
            E/B             E/A
And you're numb to your old glory but now it's gone 
 
 
E          B         E/C#              E/A
I fell in love, but it didn't catch your fall 
         E             E/C#
Then I crashed, into a wall 
        E/B            A
Then I fell to pieces on the floor 
                 B  E
Now you're sick to death 
 
 
[Chorus]
 
E       B              C#m
Bombs away, here goes nothing 
               A
The shouting's over 
       E           B
Hey X-Kid, bombs away 
           C#m
Here goes nothing 
                A
The shouting's over and out  
             B E(go to riff)    E        E/C#      E/B       E/A
Over and out again 
 
 
[Verse]
 
   E            E/B
I once was old enough 
        E/C#          E/A               E
To know better, then I was too young to care 
      E/C#            E/B
Many cares, probably would but 
        E/A
Hollywood is dead and gone 
 
 
E           B          E/C#            E/A
You fell in love but then you just fell apart 
        E           E/C#
Like a kick in the head 
          E/B            A                     B  E
You’re an X-Kid and you never even got started again 
 
 
[Chorus]
 
        B             C#m
Bombs away, here goes nothing 
               A
The shouting's over 
       E           B
Hey X-Kid, bombs away 
           C#m
Here goes nothing 
               A
The shouting's over and out 
 
Over and out
 
 
A   E   B
            And you were searching your soul 
A   E   B                        A               E
            And you got lost and out of control 
B                     A
    You went over the edge of joking 
 
Died of a broken heart

Did you wake up late one day and

You're not so young, but you're still dumb

Hey X-Kid, bombs away

here goes nothing
               A
The shouting's over
