D1 D2 D1

D2              D1                               D2

 Is it wrong to talk to myself even when there's nobody else?

D1                    D2                 F#min     G        Amin

I'm just checking out that I've not gone under the water or thrown on

                 F#min          D1         D2 D1 D2

the beach like a seal ready for slaugther

D1                            D2

Can't you understand that the way things were planned

D1                  D2             F#min  G

it never worked out so I just went crazy

Amin                     F#min                D1     D2 D1

I took to the drink like something says it's 'maybe'

D2       D1                       D2

 I ain't got no excuse and that's really the news

      D1                 D2           F#min   G            Amin

I got nothing else to say except it's my way,  it's always my way

F#min                D1            D2 D1

I seem to be running away so often

D2        D1                           D2

 I'll try anything once and that's the way we should be

D1                               D2                   F#min

but it's always the same getting caught up again in a habit

  G             Amin                 F#min            D1                D2

a habit, that I just can't shake off,      the way it always turned out

(small interlude)

D2       D1                  D2

 Can you understand it's the way I choose to be

D1                  D2                     F#min        G

everything seems so easy this way, but I'm going under, fast

Amin              F#min  D1        D2

I'm slipping away,  am I so crazy?
