A x8

A                             F      G
Your picture of yourself is a media myth
A                                  F         G
Underneath this floor we're on the edge of a cliff
A                              F       G
Someone told me Jesus was the Devil's lover
A                           F       G
While we masturbated on a magazine cover

[Chorus with guitar riff, sounds right to me but open to correction]

A                      F         G
Dead in the streets   Who's that girl?
A                F      G
Ireland screams Africa burns
A                     F         G
Suburbia stumbles The tides are turned
A                          F       G
I can feel the fear in the Western world

world

A            F      G x3

A                        F            G
Mama's still on valium, Daddy puts the news on
A                        F     G
TV orphans laugh at the confusion
A                         F       G
The audience finds itself on the stage
A                          F       G
Fifty million people in a state of decay

[Chorus]
A                      F         G
Dead in the streets   Who's that girl?
A                F      G
Ireland screams Africa burns
A                     F         G
Suburbia stumbles The tides are turned

I can feel the fear in the Western world

A                          F       G
I can feel the fear in the Western world
A                          F       G

[break]

A         F   G  [repeated lots]

A                         F        G
The party goes on behind elevator doors
A                              F          G
While the elevator plummets from the 69th floor
A                            F          G
All the cars lost in the scrapyards of paradise
A                              F        G
The newspaper photographs have all come alive

[Chorus]
A                      F         G
Dead in the streets   Who's that girl?
A                F      G
Ireland screams Africa burns
A                     F         G
Suburbia stumbles The tides are turned
A                          F       G
I can feel the fear in the Western world

A                          F       G
I can feel the fear in the Western world
A                          F       G
