Verse 1:
C majorC
Well, it seems like love always comes and goes
E minorEm
It's a two-way street or a dead end road
FF                 C majorC
Take a fast lane ride through the danger zone
G+G                C majorC
Swing a circle 'round a shooting star
C majorC
Found a guilty pleasure I should ignore
E minorEm
But I can't quite tell what you've got in store
    FF              C majorC
And one thing's for sure, seen your kind before
     G+G           C majorC  E minorEm
Cause you never show me who you are

Chorus:
A minorAm                      FF
Yeah, you're changing with the wind like the clouds in the sky
C majorC                    FF
You're fleeting like the feeling from a cocaine high
C majorC                   G+G
And either way, you'll find me staying up all night
FF              G+G
At the end of the line with you on my mind
A minorAm               FF
I've got a little pick-me-up to get me through
C majorC               FF
Tomorrow I'll be moving on to something new
      C majorC               G+G      FF          G+G
Cause when I look in your eyes I see the lies I can't excuse Beneath your bloodshot baby blues


Riff:


Verse 2:
C majorC
It's a long way back from a broken heart
E minorEm
If you get too close, then you've gone too far
FF                 C majorC
Now I'm getting soft cause I feel too hard
     G+G           C majorC
Trying to balance on your shaky ground
C majorC
You can pass the buck but here's my two cents:
E minorEm
You're a dime a dozen a counterfeit
    FF           C majorC
Just a worthless waste of the time I spent
    G+G          C majorC   E minorEm
Shoulda never laid my money down


Chorus 2:
A minorAm                      FF
Yeah, you're changing with the wind like the clouds in the sky
C majorC                    FF
You're fleeting like the feeling from a cocaine high
C majorC                   G+G
And either way, you'll find me staying up all night
FF              G+G
At the end of the line with you on my mind
A minorAm               FF
I've got a little pick-me-up to get me through
C majorC               FF
Tomorrow I'll be moving on to something new
     C majorC             G+G          FF
You're my Jekyll and my Hyde and the disguise between the two
     G+G
With your bloodshot baby blues


Riff: x3


Chorus 3:
A minorAm                      FF
Yeah, you're changing with the wind like the clouds in the sky
C majorC                    FF
You're fleeting like the feeling from a cocaine high
C majorC                   G+G
And either way, you'll find me staying up all night
FF              G+G
At the end of the line with you on my mind
A minorAm               FF
I've got a little pick-me-up to get me through
C majorC               FF
Tomorrow I'll be moving on to something new
     C majorC               G+G        FF
Cause you either break the habit or the habit's breaking you
     G+G
I've got bloodshot baby blues
