G#              C#                        G#  F#
There's a feeling that I just can't shake, 
G#            C#                G#     C#  D#
A premonition it's all about to break. 
C#              D#
There's nothing I can do
C#         A#
To stop it coming through
G#              C#          [first half of riff 1]
Send a message, sign it S.O.S. 
G#             C#             [second half of riff 1]
Hear me crying in the wilderness. 
C#        D#
I hope my signal's clear, 
C#        A#
Just like Paul Revere. 
G#                 C#                      [riff 1]
Something's coming - it could mean life or death. 

G#            C#               G# F#  C#                D# 
People tell me to give till it hurts (that's what they say)
G#           C#               G#      F#      C#          D#
And everybody gets their just desserts (every darkness is day)
C#         D#
All that might be true
C#                A#
But while they're telling you
What you should do
G#                  C#                             [riff 1 - first half]
Watch your back, my friend, you're gonna lose your shirt
(they'll take it off)

G#  F#  C#  D#
[riff 1 -second half]
G#  F#  C#  D#

    C#       D#        C#         A#
E |------9-|-------11-|---9--13-|-------11------9---8--6--8--6--3--4-|
B |-6--9---|-8--11----|-9-------|-8--11----6--9----------------------|
G |--------|----------|---------|-----------------8------------------|

You can trust me - I never kiss and tell (my lips are sealed)
Better hurry before you break the spell (start spinning your wheels)
If it's an uphill climb 
There's no better time that you will find 
Than the present - starting with yourself. 

Something's coming - start with yourself.
