Dm                  A#
Deadly as the viper peering from its coil
     A                             Dm
The poison there is coming to the boil
Dm                            A#
Ticking like a time bomb, the fuse is running short
A                                 Dm
On the verge of snapping if it's caught

Chorus:
C           A/C#                 Dm
And all the pressure that's been building up
C           A/C#              Dm
For all the years it bore the load
C                 A/C#              Dm  A  A#
The cracks appear, the frame starts to distort
Gm    Dm             A Dm
It's ready to explode
 A  Dm   A#/D A
Jawbreaker

Crouching in the corner wound up as a spring
Piercing eyes that flash are shimmering
Muscles are all contorted claws dug in the dirt
Every ounce of fiber on alert

Chorus - x2

A  Dm     A#/D
Jawbreaker
A  Dm     A#/D
Jawbreaker
A  Dm     A#/D A
Jawbreaker
