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 
 
  Interlude: by the way, I don't know if this expression is right. 
              I'm German, you know... ;-)

  Verse 2: (clear) 
                 Dmaj7      A*        E*   E     (repeat, guess, 3x) 
  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
