E           C#m
Hey, little kid
         B                A
Did you wake up late one day
                   E
And you're not so young,
                 C#m
But you're still dumb
            B                 A
And you're numb to your own glory
               E
Even now it's gone

E          B            C#m               A
I fell in love, but it didn't catch your fall
         E             C#m
Then I crashed, into a wall
        B             A
Then I fell to pieces on the floor
                 B  E
Now you're sick to death

Chorus:
E       B              C#m
Bombs away, here goes nothing
               A
The shouting's over
       E           B
Hey X-Kid, bombs away
           C#m
Here goes nothing
               A
The shouting's over and out
             B E
Over and out again

I once was old enough to know better
Then I was too young to care
But who cares?
I probably would,
but Hollywood is dead and gone

You fell in love
But then you just fell apart
Like a kick in the head
You're an X-Kid, and you never even
Got started again

Chorus

And you were searching your soul
And you got lost and out of control
You went over the edge of joking
Died of a broken heart

Hey, little kid
Did you wake up late one day?
And you're not so young
But you're still dumb
You're an X-kid and you never even
Got started again

Chorus:
Bombs away (Bombs away)
Here goes nothin', the shouting is over
Hey, X-Kid, bombs away
Here goes nothin', the shouting is over
Hey, X-Kid, bombs away
Here goes nothin', the shouting is over
Hey, X-Kid, bombs away
Here goes nothin', the shouting's over and out
Over and out, over and over and out
