Lyrics

Call me a joker (F)call me a fool.

(F6)Right at this moment I'm (C)totally cool.

Clear as a crystal,

(F)sharp as a knife,

I feel like I'm in the (C)prime of my life.

Sometimes it feels like I'm (F)going too fast.

(C)I don't know how long this (D)feeling will last;

(C)maybe it's (G)only (C)tonight.

Darling, I don't know why (F)I go to (G)(C)extremes.

Too high or too low,

there (F)ain't no (G)(C)inbetweens.

And if I (Gm6)stand or I (A7)fall.

(Dm)It's all or nothing at (Fm)all.

Darling, I (C)don't know why (F)I go to (G)(C)extremes.

Sometimes I'm tired, ker (F)sometimes I'm shot.

(F6)Sometimes I don't know how (C)much more I've got.

Maybe I'm headed (F)over the hill,

maybe I've set myself (C)up for the kill.

Tell me how much do you (F)think you can take (C)until the heart in you's (D)starting to break?

(C)Sometimes it (G)feels like it (C)will.

Darling, I don't know why (F)I go to (G)(C)extremes.

Too high or too low,

there (F)ain't no (G)(C)inbetweens.

You can be (Gm6)sure when I'm (A7)gone.

(Dm)I won't be out there too (Fm)long.

Darling, I (C)don't know why (F)I go to (G)(C)extremes.

(D)Out of the darkness, (Bb)into the light,

(F)leaving the scene of the (C)crime,

(D)either I'm wrong or I'm (Bb)perfectly right ev'ry (F)time.

(Am)Sometimes I lie awake, (F)night after night.

(C)coming apart at the (G)seams.

(D)Eager to please, (Bb)ready to fight.

(F)Why do I go to (C)extremes?

(C)And if I (Gm6)stand or I (A7)fall,

(Dm)it's all or nothing at (Fm)all.

Darling, I (C)don't know why (F)I go to (G)(C)extremes.

No I don't know why (F)I go to (G)(C)extremes.

Too high or too low there (F)ain't no (G)(C)inbetweens.

You can be (Gm6)sure when I'm (A7)gone (Dm)I won't be out there too (Fm)long.

Darling, I (C)don't know why (F)I go to (G)(C)extremes.
