D            G        D 
Crazy heart, where have you gone? 
A                                     G       D 
I thought that you and me were really getting along 
D             G         D 
Left alone to dread the dawn, 
A                               G         D 
Like some kind of science experiment gone wrong 
                G      D 
I could've made history 
                   G      D 
Now I've been made history 
              G      D            G       D 
Who knew that victory could be so slippery? 
                           G    A 
Cover the thick blood stains  
                           G    A 
on your sick young brain 
                           G    A 
Just take your Ritalin  
                                    A 
and then you can play the old hits again 


verse 1 

D                 G         D 
You explained the abyss away, 
A                                       G        D 
I can't listen when you say you're not missing me 
D                     G         D     A 
You kissed me in the blustering heat right there on the street, 
                  G             D 
With tears on my glistening cheek 
G                        D                   G             D 
Now, no one listens to me, they tell me I'm twisted and weak 
G                          D                     G         D 
I see that I was picked to be the picture in the dictionary 
                           G         A 
Look up, 'Addicted' that's me 
                           G        A 
Then look up, 'Wicked disease' 
                            G        A 
Then look up, 'Sick of Police' 
                            G        A 
Then look up, 'Victim' closely  

  
Bridge 1 

A 
I meet the mystery beast, 
A 
Same one my sister receives 
A                                        G       D 
He comes to burgeon and beat, demands me on both knees 
A        
He will not admit defeat when he pricks, I'm gonna bleed 
A               
and I can race fist or flee, 
A             G          D 
Soon shoutin' No, mister please! 
                   G       A                           G   A 
As he destroys the diseases as though Jesus could see us 
                       G  A                          G    A 
High up in the cathedral where an evil heart freezes 
             G                    A                            G 
And even the devil would start to believe when the man without equal 
         A       D 
from the pulp it preaches 
 G         A                        D 
You gotta believe can tell you the secrets 


Bridge 2 

A 
Smiling through limitless rage 
A 
Violently neutered and caged 
A 
Stuffed with subliminal hate 
A                                         G           D 
Nothing but a puppet at play, crying in a beautiful place 
                G     A                                   G   A 
Another burial display on a man visible in a legal-ish space  
A 
It's the usual way within a week of Wednesday  


Outro 

      D            G        D 
Crazy heart, where have you gone? 
A                                      
I thought that you and me  
A                                      
I thought that you and me  
A                                     G       D 
I thought that you and me were really getting along
