F#  C    C#
I smell smoke
G#    F#    C#     D   A
That comes from a gun

Chorus:
      F#        A
Named extinction
      F#        A
Named extinction
      F#        A
Named extinction

F#         C       C#
It was so long ago
                       G#
Could have happened to anyone
         F#          C#
He was struck by a bullet
        D            A
And he melted into fluid

Chorus:
      F#        A
Named extinction
      F#        A
Named extinction
      F#        A
Named extinction
      F            A
Named ext- WOAH, GO

One thousand miles an hour
I'm just like anyone
I want to feel
The road of tar beneath the wheel

Chorus:
Named extinction
Named extinction
Named extinction
Named e-

    A                  D
And evolving from the sea
              A                 Bm A
Would not be too much time for me
           D               Bm  Dm
To walk beside you in the sun
F# C   C#
I read something
G#      F#  C#    D   A
About a son of a gun

      F#        A
Named extinction
  F#      A
Extinction
  F#      A
Extinction
