Verse 1:

Fm              Cm          Fm
Standing on the edge of the crater
                        Cm
Like the phrophets once said 
        Fm            Cm
And the ashes are all cold now
        Fm                         Cm
No more bullets and the embers are dead
Bbm             Fm            Bbm
Whispers in the air tell the tales
                Fm
Of the brothers gone
    Bbm
Desolation
    Fm
Devastation
       C#
What a mess we made
                 C
When it all went wrong


Verse 2:

Fm                Cm          Fm
Watching from the edge of the circus
                 Cm
For the games to begin
     Fm               Cm
Gladiators draw their swords 
           C#            C
Form their ranks for armageddon


Chorus:
     
    Fm         
I'm nuclear   
    Cm         
I'm wild       
    Bbm           C  
I'm breaking Up inside     
           Fm              
A heart of broken glass
  Cm
Defiled
     Bbm
Deep inside
               C
The abandoning child


Verse 3:

Fm              Cm          Fm  
Standing on the edge of the underworld
               Cm
Looking at the abyss 
        Fm              Cm
And I'm hoping for some miracle
   Fm                      Cm
To break out to escape from all this
Bbm             Fm
Whispers in the air
         Bbm                   Fm
Tell the tale of a life that's gone
    Bbm
Desolation
    Fm
Devastation
       C#
What a mess we made
                 C
When it all went wrong


Chorus:

    Fm         
I'm nuclear   
    Cm         
I'm wild       
    Bbm           C  
I'm breaking Up inside     
           Fm              
A heart of broken glass
  Cm
Defiled
     Bbm
Deep inside
               C
The abandoning child
