 The  may not be exactly right, but it sounds
 approximately correct if played as X755XX. I usually
 play the -chord  that follows the  back down at
 the 2nd fret.
Exploding  international,  the scenes,  the  sounds,
 And famously  the feeling  that you can't  squeeze 'round,
 While tearing  off another  page of loose  change outrage.
It's  another perfect  day until  the night  shows.
Exploding  international,  the wind  did howl.
 The sky  above was thick  with rings of smoke  and clouds,
 And hanging  on the bleeding  end of conscious,  who's  this?
Was  there anything  I missed,  as far as you  know? As far  as you  know?
 Was it all  for swinging you  around?
 Was it all  for swinging you  around?
 Exploding  international,  the  sun, the sights,
 The moments  you are viewing  through a beam  of light,
 Propel  you through  the golden age.  We crash-land  the first page
On  a crumbling world  stage,  into the front  rows, into  the front  rows.
All  for swinging you  around.
All  for swinging you  around.
 And off your feet,  all the love  you found, spinning  'round.
 And off your feet,  all the love  you found, spinning  'round.
 And off your feet,  all the love  you found, spinning  'round.
Spinning  'round, spinning  'round.
 We're twisting  incognito  with no time,  can't talk,
 Can't tell  if this is  fantasy or culture  shock,
 Or remnants  of a golden  age that's near  mint unplayed,
Or  a welcome overstayed  beneath  the lightshow,  beneath  the lightshow.
All  for swinging you  around.(x6)

[F#]      [Ab]      [B]       [C#]

[F#]Exploding intern[Ab]ational, the sce[B]nes, the[C#] sounds,

And famo[F#]usly the fe[Ab]eling that you c[B]an't squeeze 'r[C#]ound,

While te[E]aring off ano[B]ther page of lo[F#]ose change out[C#]rage.

[E]It's another per[B]fect day un[F#]til the n[C#]ight shows.

[F#]Exploding intern[Ab]ational, the w[B]ind did [C#]howl.

The s[F#]ky above was t[Ab]hick with rings of sm[B]oke and cl[C#]ouds,

And hang[E]ing on the bl[B]eeding end of c[F#]onscious, w[C#]ho's this?

[E]Was there anyt[B]hing I missed,[F#] as far as y[C#]ou know? As [Ab]far as y[B]ou know?

Exp[F#]loding intern[Ab]ational, the[B] sun, the si[C#]ghts,

The m[F#]oments you are [Ab]viewing through a be[B]am of li[C#]ght,

We're tw[F#]isting incog[Ab]nito with no t[B]ime, can't t[C#]alk,

Can't te[F#]ll if this i[Ab]s fantasy or c[B]ulture shock[C#],

Or remna[E]nts of a gold[B]en age that's n[F#]ear mint u[C#]nplayed,

[E]Or a welcome ove[B]rstayed ben[F#]eath the li[C#]ghtshow, be[Ab]neath the li[B]ghtshow.

[C#]All for swinging y[F#]ou around.(x6)[B]      [C#]
