Intro: Dmaj7; A*; E*; E; E*; E (2x) Verse 1: (chords clear)
                 Dmaj7      A*        E*   E     E*  E  (repeat 6x)
  I'm going from strange to stranger, every year
I'm going from strange to stranger, every year I take it back, you're panicking, I take it back I just don't know, I really thought I wanted to go But when you're close, you look through me just like a ghost I like sleeping, I'm only safe when I'm dreaming I need a new heart, this one's hollow, always scheming
      A5           E5
  You wait for the summer

               F#5          A
  And then you wait for the winter

                              E
  But there's a total lack of splendor
Chorus #1: (chords distorted)
 D    A     Amaj7            F#
  Zen Brain, throw away your crushes

 E                   D         A
  All your childhood crutches away

 D      A      Amaj7           F#
  Super brain, never scared of nothing

 E            D         A
  violence or loving my way

  I'm going from strange to stranger, every year
I'm going from strange to stranger, every year I take it back, you're panicking, I take it back I just don't know, I really thought I wanted to go Chorus #2: (distortion)
