E5          G#5 C#5         E5          G#5 C#5     E5          G#5 C#5
Knockin' on my door, they tell me it's time to go on

E5          G#5 C#5

E5          G#5 C#5  E5          G#5 C#5    E5          G#5 C#5
Last check in the mirror to see if anything's wrong

E5          G#5 C#5

[Pre-Chorus]
    F#5               B5      F#5                  B5    C#m
The writin's up on the wall, a warning shot to them all

[Chorus]
           F#m       B
My head is spinning
          E             C#m
It's the beginning of the end
                F#m             B          E
The people freak out when I walk out there, so scared
           F#m       B
My head is spinning
          E             C#m
It's the beginning of the end
                F#m             B          E
The people freak out when I walk out there, so scared

[Verse 2]
E5          G#5 C#5  E5          G#5 C#5    E5          G#5 C#5
Nostradamus predicted a bomb would drop

E5          G#5 C#5

E5          G#5 C#5          E5          G#5 C#5  E5          G#5 C#5
And all our guitars will be hung in an old pawn shop

E5          G#5 C#5

[Pre-Chorus]
F#5                    B5
Watch us brush off the dust
   F#5            B5
In heavy metal we trust

E5          G#5 C#5  E5          G#5 C#5    E5          G#5 C#5
Then kick back and read The Sunday Times

B5   C#m

[Chorus]
           F#m       B
My head is spinning
          E             C#m
It's the beginning of the end

The people freak out when I walk out there, so scared

[Bridge]
A       B                E
Fifteen hundred thousand years
             E/G#               A
Wouldn't be enough to dry these tears
           B               E               E/G#
I'll still be here hangin' on, and on, and on
A           B            Cdim/F#
Things will never be the same
         C#m            D
Save the pieces of your brain
