Intro: Dmaj7; A*; E*; E; E*; E (2x)
Verse 1: (chords clear) Dmaj7 A* E* E E* E (repeat 6x) I'm going from strange to stranger, every year I'm going from strange to stranger, every year I take it back, you're panicking, I take it back I just don't know, I really thought I wanted to go But when you're close, you look through me just like a ghost I like sleeping, I'm only safe when I'm dreaming I need a new heart, this one's hollow, always scheming
You wait for the summer
And then you wait for the winter
But there's a total lack of splendor
Chorus #1: (chords distorted) D A Amaj7 f# Zen Brain, throw away your crushes
All your childhood crutches away D A Amaj7 f# Super brain, never scared of nothing
violence or loving my way
Interlude: [by the way, I don't know if this expression is right. I'm German, you know... ;-)]
Play the same chords as during the verse, but distorted, 2x.
Verse 2: (clear) Dmaj7 A* E* E (repeat, guess, 3x) I'm going from strange to stranger, every year I'm going from strange to stranger, every year I take it back, you're panicking, I take it back I just don't know, I really thought I wanted to go
