  Am
I used to be a regular schoolkid,

But sometimes I just messed things up,

Diving in without an invitation,
  Am
I always did things my own way.

My head is empty,
Am
And I’m living on love,
    G
Can anybody feel the heat,
                      E      E*
I’m left stuck in the cold.

[Chorus]
         Am

When the night comes,

Everything reminds me of you.

Everybody things I’m insane.
