The Offspring - Lightning Rod: chords

Fm
I am waiting
On a mountaintop
For the moment that the sky will strike
My apologies
Are forever lost
Soon to ashes in a flash of light
                       A#m
Miles from away from me
                   C#
Hope is fading soon
                     Fm
Gone forever, it's a waste of time
             A#m
My intentions
                   C#
Like a sweeter room
                    Fm
Only bring to me a fading light

Chorus:
Fm           G#     D#
Locked up forever inside
   Fm          G#            D#
I look to the stars and ask why
    Fm             G#            C#           D# C#
Oh, if they could just teach my dark heart to feel
         D#        C#
All I've saved‚ oh why
         D#     Fm A#m C# Fm
Thrown away, o-oh

I am waning
Like a single bloom
Lost forever in the storm of life
My intentions
Like a sweeter room
Only bring to me a fading light

Chorus:
Locked up forever inside
I look to the stars and ask why
If they could just show these wounds how to heal
Here I am‚ oh why
My last stand‚ oh why
And I know
For all the rising and falling
there's nothing to show

 Fm       A#m
(Throw me down) It's been raining
 C#       Fm
(Throw me down) And now I will pay
 Fm       A#m
(Throw me down) Woe is come to me
 C#       Fm
(Throw me down) I am the lightning rod

 Fm       A#m
(Throw me down) I am waiting
 C#       Fm
(Throw me down) On a mountaintop
 Fm       A#m
(Throw me down) Oh above me
 C#       Fm
(Throw me down) He will strike me!

Chorus:
Locked up forever inside
I look to the stars and ask why
If they could just teach my dark heart to feel
All I am‚ oh why
My last stand‚ oh why
And I know
For all the rising and falling
there's nothing to show
