Elton John - Madness: chords

    Dm      A#/D     C/D    C#dim/D Dm
The fuse is set and checked once   more.
Then left beside a back street  door.
    A#                F/A
And in the cold grey light -
A#
someone sees a shadow
                                  F/A
Run through the night and out of sight

They hide inside a smoke filled room
To hear at last the blast of doom
And so the deed is done, they listen
To the final countdown begun, three, two, one

Gm7                     A#/CC               F  Cm6/D# Dsus4
Madness, it's a kind of madness that turns good men  bad.
D         Gm7                      A#/C C         Dm   A#maj7 A
And we're helpless caught up in the madness of a world gone  mad.

The roar of fire rings out on high
And flames light up the black night sky
A child screams out in fear, a hopeless cry for help
But no one is near enough to hear

As walls collapse and timbers flare
The smell of death hangs in the air
When help at last arrives they try to fight the flame
But nothing survives of all those lives

         Em       C/E         D/E D#dim/E Em
And it's madness, every time a victim    dies.
         Em       C/E           D/E   D#dim/E Em  D C D
There is madness, burning in a blind  man's  eyes.
And it's madness, hidden in the hate and pain
There is madness, burning in a wild man's brain
And it's madness, every time the bullets start
There is madness, burning in a poor man's heart
And it's madness, something that we can't control
There is madness, burning in a madman's soul, madness
