     Em                       Am
The world is spinning fast tonight
         Em                          C
You can hurt yourself tryin’ to hold on.
            Em        Am
To what you used to be
Em                           C
I’m so glad the past is all gone?

     Em          D         G          C
Been out in the wild Been out in the night.
     Em           D
Been out of your mind
    G                    C
Do you live here or is this a vacation.

Chorus:
Em  C    G             D                       Em
Oh Volcano, you don’t wanna, you don’t wanna know.
 C    G  D                         Em
Volcano Something in you wants to blow.
 C    G            D                       Em Am Em C
Volcano You don’t wanna, you don’t wanna know.

Your eyes were like landing lights
They used to be the clearest blue
Now you don’t see so well
The future’s gonna land on you

Been out in the wild. Been out in the night
Been out of your mind.
Do you live here or is this a vacation?

Chorus:
Oh Volcano, you don’t wanna, you don’t wanna know.
Volcano Something in you wants to blow.
Volcano You don’t wanna, you don’t wanna know.
You’re on a piece of ground above a volcano.

           Em
You were alone
And now you’re not alone
You were alone
You are Rock N Roll
You and I are Rock N Roll
You are Rock N Roll
You and I are Rock N Roll

Chorus:
Oh Volcano, you don’t wanna, you don’t wanna know.
Volcano Something in you wants to blow.
Volcano You don’t wanna, you don’t wanna know.
You’re on a piece of ground above a volcano.
