Intro:

N.C.    G  D  Em  C
G  D  Em  C


Verse 1:
G                     D
I used to tell myself that you were perfect
    Em                             C
But lately I can’t say that with a straight face
G                               D                             Em
Still, I’ve been holding on for your good days, and sometimes
                           C
It feels like a wild goose chase

Pre-Chorus:
    Am                               G
And every time I think you’re on the right track
             C                      Em
You give the steering wheel another jerk
Am                             G
It’s hard to think of life without you
            C                  D
But I don’t know if this gonna work


Chorus:
       G                       D
‘Cause your heart is wild like Nicolas Cage is
Am                          C                     G
And like Nic Cage, it makes questionable decisions
      D            C
But I love it anyway
G                        D
You’re irresponsible and extravagant
Am                      C          G
And a lot of the things you do frustrate me
            D                C
But there’s no one else like you


Interlude:
G  D  Em  C

Verse 1:
G
I come home to find you screaming
D                                        Em
Doused in paint and clawing at the walls
                          C
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised
G                            D
Once in a while you’ve gotta let a little madness out
Em                         C
So it won’t eat you from inside


Pre-Chorus:
Am                        G
But what happens when the madness gets to be
    C                        Em
The only thing that’s coming through?
Am                      G
You’re a little hard to handle
         C                          D
Now that breaking things is all you do


Chorus:
    G                       D
And your heart is wild like Nicolas Cage is
Am                          C                     G
And like Nic Cage, it makes questionable decisions
      D            C
But I love it anyway
G               D
You’re decadent and incoherent
Am               C                  G
And a lot of the time, I can’t understand you
        D              C
But I’m not ready to give up


Interlude:
G  D  Em  C
G  D  Em  C


Bridge:
Am                        G
Once you were leaving Las Vegas, and now you’re left behind
C                      D
I guess I’ll have to adapt
       Am   B      Em       C        D
‘Cause I am what I love and not what loves me back


Outro:
G  D  Em  C   G
