              Intro:| D#m | D#m |  B  |  B  | D#m | D#m |  B  |  B  | 
 
D#m 
                   B 
You call me crazy 
                     D#m 
As you call my name 
                      B 
But your temptations 
                 D#m 
Drive me insame 
                  B 
A golden silence 
                        D#m 
With the lights so low 
                        B 
An invitation that I'll never know 
 
|  G#m | 
 
G#m                 G#m 
Queen of the scene 
                       G#m 
But you're so obscene 
                           G#m 
With your long black hair 
        B 
And you just don't care 
 
 
    D#m 
The tears I cried 
        B                     D#m 
And the truth I denied myself 
 
You know I fell for you 
        B 
With my eyes wide shut 
    D#m 
The tears I cried 
        B                     D#m 
And the truth I denied myself 
 
I should have walked away 
        B 
With my eyes wide shut 
 
| D#m | D#m | D#m.. 
 
                    B 
A spiral staircase 
                    D#m 
And a flowing robe 
              B 
Eyes of fire 
                   D#m 
That give me hope 
                         B 
But through the airways 
                 D#m 
A sign so clear 
                          B 
There's someone else that you hold dear 
 
 
G#m 
Changing your mind 
       G#m 
In the blink of an eye 
       G#m 
And forgettin' your lies 
             B 
It was no surprise 
 
    D#m 
The tears I cried 
        B                     D#m 
And the truth I denied myself 
 
You know I fell for you 
        B 
With my eyes wide shut 
    D#m 
The tears I cried 
        B                     D#m 
And the truth I denied myself 
 
You should have walked away 
        B 
With my eyes wide shut 
 
| D#m | D#m |  B  |  B  | D#m 
 
                      B 
Worldwide chaos girl 
                      D#m 
People love and hate 
                          B 
A nationwide panic, yeah 
                       D#m 
And the future quakes 
                    B 
The social network 
                    D#m 
Betrayed my dreams 
                      B 
You with another guy 
                             D#m 
My mind starts to screem, Yeahhhhhhhh 
 
 
    D#m 
The tears I cried 
        B                     D#m 
And the truth I denied myself 
 
You know I fell for you 
        B               D#m 
With my eyes wide shut 
 
 
                   B 
You call me crazy 
                     D#m 
As you call my name 
                   B 
You call me crazy 
 
 
    D#m 
The tears I cried 
        B                    D#m 
And the truth I denied myself 
 
You know I fell for you 
        B 
With my eyes wide shut 
    D#m 
The tears I cried 
        B                    D#m 
And the truth I denied myself 
 
I should have walked away 
        B                D#m 
With my eyes wide shut
