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…
.

All your childhood crutches away, today
Repeat chorus #2
