Lyrics and Chords

Verse 1: 0:00
Bm
  My Papa told me to stay out of trouble,
Bm
  "When you've found your man,
                    F#m
Make sure he's for real!".
0:15
Bm
  I've learned that nothing really lasts forever,
Bm
  I sleep with the scars
                  F#m
I wear that won't     heal,
           E
They won't   heal.

Chorus: 0:36
A
  'Cause every time I seem to fall in love,
             D
Crash! Boom!   Bang!
A

Crash! Boom!   Bang!
0:53
            Bm               G
That's the call, that's the game,

And the pain stays the same.

Verse 2: 1:06
Bm
  I'm walking down this empty road to nowhere,
Bm
  I pass by the houses
                    F#m
And blocks I once knew.
1:21
Bm
  My Mama told me not to mess with sorrow, (Sorrow)
Bm
  But I always did,

And Lord, I still     do,
1:35
                       E
I'm still breaking the   rules,
   E
I kick it up, I kick it down.

  'Cause every time I seem to fall in love,
             D

             D
Crash! Boom!   Bang!
1:59
           Bm          G
That's my real middle name,
       D                A
It has always been the same.
           Bm                G
That's the call, that's the game,
         D              A  | A!
And the pain stays the same.

Bridge: 2:22
Dm                  A#
  I still feel the heat,
(Slowly fallin' from the sky)
         F            C
And the taste of the kissing.
Dm              A#
  Shattered by rain,
(Comin' tumblin' from behind)
         F         C | C
And the wild holy war.

Ooo, and every time I seem to fall in love,

Crash! Boom!   Bang!
