       A                   D              A   Asus4 A
Let me ride on the wall of death one more time
A A/G# F#m                 D              E
Let me ride on the wall of death one more time
        D
You can waste your time on the other rides
    E
but this is the nearest to being alive
A              D              E       A   Asus4 A
Let me take my chances on the Wall of Death


       A                  D                     A   Asus4 A
You can go with the crazy people in the crooked house
A A/G#  F#m             D                     E
You can fly away on the rocket or spin in the mouse
    D
The tunnel of love might amuse you
    E
And Noah's Ark might confuse you but
A              D              E       A   Asus4 A
Let me take my chances on the Wall of Death


       Bm      F#m
On the Wall of Death
        Bm       F#m      E
All the World is far from me
       Bm      F#m
On the Wall of Death
         Bm         F#m   D     E
It's the nearest to being free


            A                      D               A   Asus4 A
Well you're going nowhere when you ride on the carousel
A A/G#           F#m                D                    E
And maybe you're strong, but what's the use of ringing a bell
    D
The switchback will make you crazy
E
Beware of the bearded lady
   A              D              E       A   Asus4 A
Oh let me take my chances on the Wall of Death

A A/G#           F#m                D                    E
And maybe you're strong, but what's the use of ringing a bell
    D
The switchback will make you crazy

Beware of the bearded lady
A              D
Let me take my chances

Let me take my chances

Let me take my chances
