E
Late at night, all systems go,
you've come to see the show
G   E
We do our best, you're the rest,
you make it real, you know
G E
There's a feeling deep inside
that drives you fucking mad
G  E
A feeling of a hammerhead,
                        G C B
you need it, oh, so bad

Chorus:
A  F#m                   C B
Adrenaline starts to flow
A         F#m              C B A
You're thrashing all around
F#m
Acting like a maniac
Whiplash!

Bang your head against the stage
like you never did before
Make it ring, make it bleed,
make it really sore
In a frenzied madness
with your leathers and your spikes
Heads are bobbing all around,
it's hot as hell tonight

Chorus:
Adrenaline starts to flow
You're thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac
Whiplash!

Here on stage, the Marshall noise
is piercing through your ears
It kicks your ass, kicks your face,
exploding feeling nears
Now's the time to let it rip,
to let it fucking loose
We're gathered here to maim and kill,
cause this is what we choose

Chorus:
Adrenaline starts to flow
You're thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac

Here we go!
Whiplash!

The show is through, the metal's gone,
it's time to hit the road
Another town, another gig,
again we will explode
Hotel rooms and motorways,
life out here is raw
But we'll never stop, we'll never quit,
'cause we're Metallica

Chorus:
Adrenaline starts to flow
You're thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac

Whoa, whoa
