  Defining the chords:
  Note: As some chords are kinda odd and I don't know the exact name
        for them, I added a "*" to these chords. If anyone knows the
        names or has any corrections, please e-mail me!

  Intro: 
  Dmaj7; A*; E*; E; E*; E  (2x)
  
  Verse 1: (chords clear)
                 Dmaj7      A*        E*   E     E*  E  (repeat 6x)
  I'm going from strange to stranger, every year
  I'm going from strange to stranger, every year
  I take it back, you're panicking, I take it back
  I just don't know, I really thought I wanted to go
  But when you're close, you look through me just like a ghost
  I like sleeping, I'm only safe when I'm dreaming
  I need a new heart, this one's hollow, always scheming
      A5           E5
  You wait for the summer
               F#5          A
  And then you wait for the winter
                              E
  But there's a total lack of splendor

  
  Chorus #1: (chords distorted) 
 D    A     Amaj7            f#
  Zen Brain, throw away your crushes
 E                   D         A
  All your childhood crutches away
 D      A      Amaj7           f#
  Super brain, never scared of nothing
 E            D         A
  violence or loving my way

  
  Interlude: [by the way, I don't know if this expression is right.
              I'm German, you know... ;-)]

  Play the same chords as during the verse, but distorted, 2x.

  
  Verse 2: (clear)
                 Dmaj7      A*        E*   E     (repeat, guess, 3x) 
  I'm going from strange to stranger, every year
  I'm going from strange to stranger, every year
  I take it back, you're panicking, I take it back
  I just don't know, I really thought I wanted to go  

  
  Chorus #2: (distortion)
  D   A
  Zen brain...
     .
     .
     .
  E                  D        A       B
  All your childhood crutches away, today

  
  Repeat chorus #2

  
  END
