[A#5] Well, it's been getting so hard, living with the things you do to
[F5] me
[A#5] My dreams keep getting so strange, I'd like to tell you everything I
[F5] see
[F5] I see a man in the back as a matter of fact, his eyes are as red as the sun
And the girl in the corner that no one ignores, she thinks she's the passionate one, Oh yeah
BRIDGE:
It's like
[G5] lightning, everybody was
[A#5] fighting
And the music was

[F5] do
[A#5] I softly call you over, if you appear there's nothing left of

[F5] And the man in the back is ready to crack, as he raises his hands to the sky
And the girl in the corner is everyone's moaner, she'll kill you with the wink of her eye; Oh yeah
BRIDGE 2:
It's el-
