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...
