Verse 2
I'm walking down this empty road to nowhere
I pass by the houses and blocks I once knew.
My Mama told me not to mess with sorrow
But I always did, and Lord, I still do
I'm still breaking the rules
I kick it up
I kick it down.

It has always been the same
C# A
That's the call, that's the game
E B
and the pain stays the same.

Chorus
And every time I seem to fall in love

Crash Boom Bang
That's the call, that's the game
and the pain stays the same
That's my real middle-name
It has always been the same...
