[D]Oh-oh, Oh! [A/C#]Oh-oh, Oh! [Bm]Oh-oh, Oh! [G]Oh-oh, Oh!
It was the start of the [D]show
Hiroshi[A/C#]ma
and the [Bm]people were [G]shouting my name
as the [D]house lights came down
and the [A/C#]spotlight followed me out
I [Bm]waved hello to the crowd
as I [G]busted ass off the front of the stage
[D]Oh-oh, Oh! [A/C#]Oh-oh, Oh! [Bm]Oh-oh, Oh!
They're [G]watching me, watching me fall
[D]Maybe it was the rush of adrenaline
[A/C#]as the concrete rose to meet my face
[Bm]Maybe it was the sheer embarrassment
[G]that kept me conscious and standing as I
[D]crawled back on the stage
[A/C#]and started pounding out the first song
[Bm]There was blood on the keyboard...
G (stop)
..Oh my God.
[D]Oh-oh, Oh! [A/C#]Oh-oh, Oh! [Bm]Oh-oh, Oh!
They're [G]watching me, watching me fall

[G]Check it out 'cause;
[Bm]I got pictures of what's in my head
[D]I got pictures of what's in my head
[A/C#]They took'em in Tokyo
[G]And I brought 'em back with me to the USA
[D]Oh-oh, Oh! [A/C#]Oh-oh, Oh! [Bm]Oh-oh, Oh!
They're [G]watching me, watching me fall

Spoken Outro: D (jam)
It's true, I fell.
And I hit my . . . my head, you know.
I mean my head . . . my ankle, my ankle was black
But my head got a concussion.
They took x-rays and . . .
I asked the doctor . . . if he could tell whether I was . . .
I don't speak Japanese so . . .
