Abm
"When you've found your man, make sure he's for real!"
[Here's the first guitar riff]
Dbm
I've learned that nothing really lasts forever
[Here's the second guitar riff]
Abm
I sleep with the scars I wear that won't heal
Gb Gb Gb Gb B
they won't heal.
[Chorus]
Cos every time I seem to fall in love
E B
Crash! Boom! Bang!
I find the heart but then I hit the wall
E
Crash! Boom! Bang!
Db 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 ...
Db A
That's my real middle-name
E B
It has always been the same
Db 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 omin' tumblin' from behind/
G D
And the wild holy war
Dbm Abm ... [something like that]
Gb Gb Gb Gb
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...
