   BmAnd I never drank F#malcoholBm  
   and I never got F#mhighBm  
   It was the end of a F#mhundred years
  that C#mtook me by sur  Bprise
  what I Bmthought to be F#mdangerous,Bm  
  on the verge of a F#msmileBm  
  turning out to be F#mnothing more
  than C#mhiss and over Bdrive
  And there is Bmnothing
  or noone more F#mpowerful
  and the C#mlight that shines
  upon you says the Bsame
  when I  Bmwake up I'm doing a F#msomersault
  for the C#mones who never dared to speak my Bname
  BmI am shy and mysF#mterious
  Bmwhen I say my goodF#mbyes
  Bmwhen I part with the F#mones
  i've come to C#mlove throughout my Blife
  Bmwhen the times are miF#mraculous,
  Bmwhen I stop to think F#mtwice
  Bmwhen I sleep in the F#mbushes
  next to C#mwhere the treasure Blies
  BmWith a devil in the words
  that you F#mspeak to me
  when there's C#mnothing left
  and we are at the Bend
  in the Bmheavens you laugh at me F#msecretly
  where it C#mechoes over and over agBain
  And there is Bmnothing
  or noone more F#mpowerful
  and the C#mlight that shines
  upon you says the sBame
  when I Bmwake up I'm doing a F#msomersault
  for the C#mones who never dared to speak my nBame

Bm F#m Bm

And I never drank alcohol

F#m Bm

and I never got high

F#m

It was the end of a hundred years

C#m B

that took me by sur prise

Bm F#m Bm

what I thought to be dangerous,

F#m Bm

on the verge of a smile

F#m

turning out to be nothing more

C#m B

than hiss and over drive

And there is nothing

F#m

or noone more powerful

C#m

and the light that shines

upon you says the same

Bm F#m

when I wake up I'm doing a somersault

C#m B

for the ones who never dared to speak my name

Bm F#m

I am shy and mysterious

Bm F#m

when I say my goodbyes

Bm F#m

when I part with the ones

C#m B

i've come to love throughout my life

Bm F#m

when the times are miraculous,

Bm F#m

when I stop to think twice

Bm F#m

when I sleep in the bushes

C#m B

next to where the treasure lies

With a devil in the words

F#m

that you speak to me

C#m

when there's nothing left

and we are at the end

Bm F#m

in the heavens you laugh at me secretly

C#m B

where it echoes over and over again

And there is nothing

F#m

or noone more powerful

C#m

and the light that shines

upon you says the same

Bm F#m

when I wake up I'm doing a somersault

C#m B

for the ones who never dared to speak my name
