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


Chorus:
Am                                           F
Yeah, you're changing with the wind like the clouds in the sky
C                                       F
You're fleeting like the feeling from a cocaine high
C                                      G
And either way, you'll find me staying up all night
F                           G
At the end of the line with you on my mind
Am                              F
I've got a little pick-me-up to get me through
C                             F
Tomorrow I'll be moving on to something new
           C                             G            F                   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
It's a long way back from a broken heart
Em
If you get too close, then you've gone too far
F                                 C
Now I'm getting soft cause I feel too hard
          G                     C
Trying to balance on your shaky ground
C
You can pass the buck but here's my two cents:
Em
You're a dime a dozen a counterfeit
       F                      C
Just a worthless waste of the time I spent
        G                   C     Em
Shoulda never laid my money down


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


Riff:  x3


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

Outro:
