              Intro: 
 
Bm, G, A (x2) 
 
 
G                                                              D 
From the get-go I knew this was hard to hold, 
G                                                              D 
Like a crash the whole thing spun out of control, 
G 
Oh on a wire we were dancing, 
A 
To kids no consequences, 
Bm 
Pull the trigger without thinking, 
A 
There?s only one way down this road, 
 
 
 
B                                                          G 
It was like a time-bomb started in motion, 
A 
We were only destined to explode, 
                B   
If I had to pull you out of a wreckage, 
A                                         G 
I would never let you go, 
                    B 
We?re like a time-bomb, 
A                                             G 
Gonna lose it let?s diffuse it, 
                            B 
Baby we?re like a time-bomb but I need it, 
A                                G                    
Wouldn?t have it any other way, 
 
Interlude: 
 
G 
 
Verse: 
 
G                                                                        D 
Well there?s no way out of this so let?s stay in, 
G                                                                        D 
Have a storm that could just soak us to an end, 
G 
Oh resistance is useless, 
A 
Just two kids stupid and fearless, 
Bm 
Like a bullet shooting a lesson, 
A 
There?s only one day down this road, 
 
 
 
B                                                          G 
It was like a time-bomb started in motion, 
A 
We were only destined to explode, 
                B   
If I had to pull you out of a wreckage, 
A                                         G 
I would never let you go, 
                    B 
We?re like a time-bomb, 
A                                             G 
Gonna lose it let?s diffuse it, 
                            B 
Baby we?re like a time-bomb but I need it, 
A                                G                    
Wouldn?t have it any other way,

Had your heart in my hands like a time-bomb ticking, 
G                           A                             Bm                             A 
It goes off we start again when it breaks we fix it, 
G                           A                             Bm                             A 
Got my heart in your hands like a time-bomb ticking, 
G                           A                             Bm                             A 
We should know better though we won?t let go,

It was like a time-bomb started in motion, 
A 
We were only destined to explode, 
                B   
If I had to pull you out of a wreckage,

I would never let you go, 
                    B 
We?re like a time-bomb, 
A                                             G 
Gonna lose it let?s diffuse it, 
                            B 
Baby we?re like a time-bomb but I need it, 
A                                G                    
Wouldn?t have it any other way,
