  Call me a joker,   call me a fool.    Right at this moment I'm totally
cool.

C                   F/A                F                  C
Clear as a crystal, sharp as a knife.  I feel like I'm in the prime of my
life.

Bb                  F/A                C                  D
Sometimes it feels like I'm going 2 fast/I don't know how long this feeling
will last.

C         G         C    C             Bb                 F/A
   Maybe it's only tonite.   Darling I  don't know why     I go to ex-

C                                      Bb                 F/A
    tremes.                    Too high or too low there ain't no in be-

C                                      Gm7                A7
   weens.                    And if I    stand or I        fall,

Dm                  Fm6                Fsus4               F
    it's all or nothing at all. Darling I don't know why     I go to ex-

C                                      C                  F/A
   tremes.                            Sometimes I'm tired, sometimes I'm
shot.

F                   C                  C                  F/A
Sometimes I don't know how much more I've got/Maybe I'm headed over the
hill.

F/A                 C                  Bb                 F/A
Maybe I've set myself up for the kill. Tell me how much do u think u can
take.

C                   D                  C         G        C    C
until the heart in u is starting to break?/Sometimes it feels like it will.
Darling, I

Bb                  F/A                C
   don't know why       I go to      extremes.                   Too high or

Bb                  F/A                C
 too low there         ain't now     in-betweens.               You can be

Gm7                 A7                 Dm                 Fm6
 sure         when I'm gone,             I won't be out there too long.
Darling,

Fsus4                F                  C
 I don't know why       I go to       extremes.

D                   Bb                 F                  C
    Out of the darkness, into the light, leaving the scene of the crime.

D                   Bb                 F
   Either I'm wrong or I'm perfectly right every time.

Am                  F                  C                  G
    Sometimes I lie awake night after night, coming apart at the seams.

D                   Bb                 F                  C    C
    Eager to please, ready to fight.   Why do I go to extremes.
