[Strophe]
C#m 
My Papa told me to stay out of trouble,
                                                G#m 
"When you've found your man, make sure he's for real!". 
C#m 
I've learned that nothing really lasts forever,
                                         G#m 
I sleep with the scars I wear that won't heal,
           F#   B 
they won't heal. 
[Refrain]
  
Cos every time I seem to fall in love,
             E     B 
Crash! Boom! Bang!
  
I find the heart but then I hit the wall,
             E 
Crash! Boom! Bang!
           C#m              A            E              B 
That's the call, that's the game and the pain stays the same. 
[Strophe]
C#m 
I'm walking down this empty road to nowhere,
                                       G#m 
I pass by the houses and blocks I once knew. 
C#m 
My Mama told me not to mess with sorrow,
                                    G#m 
but I always did, and Lord, I still do,
                       F# 
I'm still breaking the rules 
  
I kick it up
                B 
I kick it down. 
[Refrain]
  
Cos every time I seem to fall in love,
             E    B 
Crash! Boom! Bang!
  
I find the heart but then I hit the wall,
             E 
Crash! Boom! Bang!
          C#m         A 
That's my real middle name,
       E               B 
it has always been the same
           C#m              A            E              B 
That's the call, that's the game and the pain stays the same. 
[Pont]
Em               C 
I still feel the heat (slowly fallin' from the sky)
        G            D 
and the taste of the kissing
Em           C 
Shattered by rain, (comin' tumblin' from behind)
        G         D 
and the wild holy war.

F# 
I kick it up
               B 
I kick it down
[Refrain]
  
And every time I seem to fall in love,
             E    B 
Crash! Boom! Bang!
  
I find the roses dying on the floor,
             E 
Crash! Boom! Bang!
           C#m              A            E              B 
That's the call, that's the game and the pain stays the same. 
          C#m         A 
That's my real middle name,
       E               B 
it has always been the same
[Outro]
   C#m      A 
Oh Yeh,  Oh Yeh,
       E               B 
it has always been the same
C#m  Cm/C#m  C#m  Cm/C#m
  
it has always been the same
