Biography:
The Living End formed in 1994 after lead singer/guitarist Chris Cheney and bassist Scott Owen were introduced to each other by their older sisters at Wheelers Hill Secondary College in Melbourne, Australia. Cheney, obsessed with 80s rockabilly group the Stray Cats, convinced Owen to learn the double bass instead of the piano and they started playing gigs under the name Runaway Boys after the title of a Stray Cats song. The group went through a succession of drummers before settling on Joe Piripitzi.

[Intro]
Em C
[Verse 1]
Em C
I tell myself that I just don't need this anymore
Em C
But I don't know if I can resist
Em C
Cause I don't know when to stop, never know when it's time
Em C
So don't wake me up now cause I'm almost out of my mind
Em C
Tell me what you want to get out of this
Em C
Maybe all I ever needed was just a fix
Em C
I wanna see what they got, I wanna see what they can find
Em G D
So don't wake me up now, cause I'm almost out my mind
[Chorus]
Em G C
Staring down the barrel of a gun tonight
Em G C
When it's all done what will you decide
Em G C
You'll never get any sleep tonight
Em
Staring at the gun
Em
Staring at the gun
Em
Staring at the gun tonight
[Verse 2]
Em C
Don't go turning the lights down on me
Em C
Cause I don't want to have to face what I can't see
Em C
Don't wanna see what I'm not, don't wanna see my state of mind
Em G D
Somebody wake me up now, help me get down off this ride
[Chorus]
Em G C
Staring down the barrel of a gun tonight
Em G C
When it's all done what will you decide
Em G C
You'll never get any sleep tonight
Em G C
Staring at the gun tonight
Em G C
Staring down the barrel of a gun tonight
Em G C
Got my ticket on this one way ride
Em G C
Waiting for the end of the world to arrive

Staring at the gun

[Bridge]
Am
With a fire in your head
Am/G
You lie on your bed
Am/F# F
Wishing you were anywhere else instead
Am
Draw a line in the sand
Am/G
You played your last hand
Am/F# F
You jumped before you learn how to land
[Verse 3]
Em C
Now I feel my heart begin to race
Em C
And I see myself from up above
Em C
My thoughts keep heading to a darker place
Em G D
A place where there is no love, No love
Em G C
Staring down the barrel of a gun tonight
Em G C

Staring down the barrel of a gun tonight
