This evolves into the final chorus.

LYRICS
[Verse]
Heaven knows I'm a lie
I live on my own
Heaven knows I will die
Happier than you
[Chorus]
Tell me, tell me now
Why nothing ever goes my way
And I'm strung out
Nothing ever goes my way
Nothing ever goes my way
Nothing ever goes my way
Nothing ever goes my way
[Verse]
Big dreams flash up on the screen
Sweep me from my feet
Suddenly I see it doesn't mean
Anything, anything
[Extended Chorus]
Tell me, tell me now
Why nothing ever goes my way
And I'm strung out
Nothing ever goes my way
Nothing ever goes my way
Why nothing ever goes my way?
Nothing ever goes my way
Ahh
[Bridge/Chorus]
Tell me, tell me now
Why nothing ever goes my way
And I'm strung out
Why nothing ever goes my way
Why nothing ever goes my way
Why nothing ever goes my way
Why nothing ever goes my way
