G#m
"When you've found your man, make sure he's for real!"
{Here's the first guitar riff}
C#m
I've learned that nothing really lasts forever
{Here's the second guitar riff}
G#m
I sleep with the scars I wear that won't heal
F# F#+ F# F# B
they won't heal.
{Chorus}
Cos every time I seem to fall in love
B B
Crash! Boom! Bang!
I find the heart but then I hit the wall
B
Crash! Boom! Bang!
C# A
That's the call, that's the game
E B
and the pain stays the same
{Verse 2}
I'm walking down this empty road to nowhere
I pass by the houses and blocks I once knew.
My Mama told me not to mess with sorrow
But I always did, and Lord, I still do
I'm still breaking the rules
I kick it up
I kick it down.
{Chorus}
Cos every time ...
C# A
That's my real middle-name
E B
It has always been the same
C# A
That's the call, that's the game
E B
and the pain stays the same.
{Bridge}
Em C
I still feel the heat /Slowly fallin' from the sky/
G D
and the taste of the kissing
Em C
Shattered by rain /Comin' tumblin' from behind/
G D
And the wild holy war
C#m G#m ... {something like that}
F# F#+ F# F#
I kick it up I kick it down
{Chorus}
And every time I seem to fall in love
Crash! Boom! Bang!
I find the roses dying on the floor
Crash! Boom! Bang!
That's the call, that's the game
and the pain stays the same
That's my real middle-name
It has always been the same...
