D          Em                     Bm    G
Now…you’re fuckin’ around with my head. Fuckin’ around with my
D                       Em                Bm                     G
Heart there’s something, always something telling me that I need more. A little more
[guitar enters]
D         Em   (fill)     Bm                             G   (fill)
Love…I wonder, if that will satisfy this hunger.
D                          Em               Bm                      G

N.C
I wanted sex, I wanted drugs, I wanted sunshine. I wanted everyday to always be a good time.
N.C
I wanted fame, say my name, I want it girls. Getting what you want is the worst.
 
(Chorus with theme * same chord progression; however, the timing is different, slightly less distortion )

D           Em               Bm        G
    Careful what you wish for. Careful what you wish for.

[Verse 2]
           D  Em                      Bm    G
It used to be…wanting it was the worst part. Now that I have what I
D                 Em               Bm                   G
want my head keeps telling me that, I could lose what I got.
            D      Em        Bm                     G
Where’s the love? I wonder. I wonder if it got lost under.
D              Em                 Bm                  G
   The needing, all that bleeding. Time I lost needing more.
