[Intro] D Bm G A [Verse] Bm I looked over my shoulder A Straight into your eyes G As you stood in my shadow C G In some loud disguise Bm You were lookin' straight through me A Like a piece of glass G Out of step with the fashion C G Fashions always pass [Chorus] D I've been living Bm On the dark side of the sun G Waiting for something A That would never come [Verse] Bm Feeling restless and jaded A My heartbeat paralyzed G Like some refugee hero C G To beat denounced and denied Bm In some rock and roll wasteland A In a thousand hours G While Madonnas keep smiling C G Present them with the flowers [Chorus] D I've been living Bm On the dark side of the sun G Waiting for something A That would never come D And I've been running down the shadows Bm Like a street gang to survive G A Hoping for something to keep me alive [Solo] Fm Fm Fm Fm A Bm [Bridge] Bm I looked over my shoulder A Fire in my eyes G We were looking for justice C G What we got was a great big surprise [Chorus] D We've been living Bm On the dark side of the sun G Waiting for something A That would never come D And we've been running from the shadows Bm Like some street gang to survive G A Waiting for something to keep us alive [Outro] D Whoa-oh-oh Bm Whoa-oh-oh G Whoa-oh-oh A Been living on the D dark side (Whoa-oh-oh) Bm Whoa-oh-oh G Whoa-oh-oh A And I've been running D from the shadows (Whoa-oh-oh) Bm Whoa-oh-oh G A D G Whoa-oh-oh
